Hard disk in CDTV

[alexh]

The best way of adding a hard drive to the CDTV is the SCSI adapter. There were at least 2 of them, the official commodore one, which required an external SCSI drive, and the Amitrix one which could take a 2.5" internal one.

The Amitrix one is still on sale today!

Martin, if anyone knows about buying cheap Amiga hardware it should be you...

For anyone not understanding, Martin Flash buys Amiga hardware very cheaply in eastern / central europe off people who dont know it's true value and then flogs it at full price on ebay uk (great little entrepreneur if you ask me!)

As it's you Martin I will give you the information

It's called SCSI-TV. They do charge quite a lot, but you cannot really go anywhere else! They may say they dont make them anymore, but I know that they have the parts and will put one together for the right price!

I wanted an A570 one recently. I've also got some rare 2.5" SCSI hard drives (350Mbyte) if you need one. It's the only way to get the hard drive inside the CDTV. Dont forget to buy the 2.5" adapter with your SCSI-TV.

Can you get me a cheap A1260 Martin?  :-D

Get yourself a SCSI-TV from Amitrix and then give me a PM about the 2.5" SCSI drives.

If you cannot get an Amitrix SCSI board, a german person has obtained the rights to ALL W.a.W. designs including the CDTV SCSI adapter. He's going to be selling them for 70 Euro's.

Hope this is of interest

Let me know if you get any Blizzard A1260's :-D

If anyone needs a hard drive for this I have several 2.5" SCSI drives AND I just bought 5 of these...

They make IDE 2.5" notebook drives into 2.5" SCSI drives and they keep their form factor so they should fit the CDTV SCSI interface perfectly.
