How many drives in A4000D?
« on: July 29, 2008, 07:06:33 PM »
I'm using a 4.3 gig ide drive and am about to set it up from scratch again so that it has a  sysyem parttition of aboutt 300 meg and a games partition of 2 or 3 gig with the remainder as something else.

I'm wondering how many drives I can fit in the A4000D case. I have 1 hard drive, floppy and CD ROM. I don't have the manual so I have can't see what Commodore said at the time. I could be interested to add another drive, especially as I have a SCSI connecctor on the Warp Engine which will be much faster than the ide - Was thinking it would be good for video storage.

Thanks,

Robert

Thanks for the replies. Afetr a quick check on amiga resource http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/warpengine it appears that the SCSI has DMA.

Now, where to get a 50 pin 20Gb SCSI hard drive? I checked ebay but they  all seem too be 68 pin or higher. Anyone got a spare the would sell?

Thanks,

Robert
