CF Card HD for Amiga
« on: October 21, 2009, 04:47:49 PM »
So, I was talking to Omnicron and he suggested I use a CF card as a hard drive in my Amigas, how long should they last? How much speed increases have you guys seen over a stock say 5400RPM laptop drive? I know the A1200 only supports PIO0, would you recommend a IDE FIX Express or something similar? This is going to be a portable machine, in a sense so I can take it to AmiWest or club meetings, and the idea of no moving parts (or less) really appeals to me..

That is the coolest thing I have seen! A bit more expensive. Does it just plug right onto the 44 pins? Does it fit in the case fine?
