Hi ,this might be a stupid question ,but will the Amiga 1200 with 32mb ram and matrix accelerator work with a SSD drive ,or sata drive ,sorry if this question has already been asked ,best wishes Brian.
Has any tried one of those cheap IDE->SATA converter boards? Other than the obvious heat advantages, an SSD would be wasted, unless you mean a compact flash card which is a good idea :)

Hi ,no i do mean a ssd drive ,why do you think it would be wasted on a Amiga 1200 ?  a lightning quick hd in an Amiga ,My Amiga is already quick ,and i know theres cables to connect it ,just want to make sure i dont destroy my Amiga .
The SSD would be SATA, so you would need a converter board and secondly the internal Amiga IDE would struggle to get to 2meg per second... Any modern mechanical drive can handle that, no need for a super quick SSD... The low heat output of an SSD would be advantageous though.
