picked up a pcmcia hard drive up from ebay for £5 its a ct260t2 by calluna, apparenlty its a re=badged ibm microdrive

will it work with an amiga?

so i can take all my games off my brothers 1200 and put them on my new one his doenst hav anything but a hard drive, minehas specs in sig. lol, but he had his in about 1998 or so, when i blew my last one up, before getting this current one. so he has stuff on there that hopefully is usable...

seems to work on the laptop i'm posting from, well, xp picks it up, but cant install drivers, apparently.... i'm assuming they wil have been left in from nt4

the 520 one you mention, is literally the 2 platter version of the 260 one i have in my hand.... hence why it takes up 2 slots so should work the same......mines a type 2..


i was wondering about it being ffs only because i do not intend to use it in a pc, since all my pcs use winxp, and aside from this laptop, which id doesnt like, are all desktops, without pcmcia slots


@ leirbag - its not a compact flash drive! its a pcmcia hard drive, sorry for me getting the wrong wordage, and, i know that you're talking about amigas.....this is why i posted the review......it has pictures



but thanks for the help anyway much appreciated
