Installing hard drive on Amiga 500
« on: August 31, 2007, 11:10:06 AM »
A while ago I got myself an AlfaPower HDD Enclosure for the Amiga 500 - I thought its about time to put it to good use. I have a bog standard Amiga 500, with 1 meg ram upgrade, and Kickstar ROMs version 1.3.

I have installed a hard drive in the enclosure and connected it to the amiga. What do I need to be able to format the drive and install workbench 1.3?

PS I dont even have workbench 1.3 yet :(

Anyway, thanks guys!

Ok I searched on aminet, this is what I found:

I have tried looking for HDToolBox but did not find it.

Thanks again!
