3,5 ide drive powered via floppy connector on mobo(a1200)
« on: April 08, 2006, 01:51:50 PM »
Well, i just have a doubt about this simple thing, it is possible to feed juice into an ide 3,5 drive trough the floppy
power connector?. I have a project that involves a a1200 desktop without expansions, only an hd, and i think that only a hd drive would be feasible for the standard commodore psu(a500 brick).
Anyone got ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!!

So how is the wiring needed? I mean, from the floppy power connector to a standard pc power connector for ide drives.
I know that i will need to butcher out a cable for getting one, only need to know the position of the cables without frying anything!!.
Thanks in advance!!
