Some help with harddrives for A1200?
« on: June 18, 2004, 11:00:47 AM »
After several years of having kept the Amiga as nothing but a memory, I suddenly decided to go down into the basement and drag up the big box containing my A500. Sadly it lacks the RF Modulator, since my older brother gave it to one of his friends or something like that. I realized, though, that the A500 wasn't gonna be powerful enough for some of the things I was gonna do now that I was back with the Amiga anyway.
So I went and got myself an A1200 as well. Now my question goes like this, though..

Do I really have to use a 2.5" IDE harddrive for the A1200? I've seen 2.5" to 3.5" converters, but all that I've seen have a power thingie that connects to a PC PSU so I began to wonder if they could only be used in towers.
And will a 3.5" harddrive even fit in the A1200 unless ya tower it? I figured that if it's slim, ya should be able to squeeze it in there..but I don't know. Help?
