Amigakit don't have any SCSI hard drives in stock atm so I can't migrate totally to SCSI,


So why don't you get your SCSI drive from another store, or for something like 5 EUR on Ebay?

Because I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing when it comes to SCSI. If I buy from Amigakit I know it will be compatible.


Yeah, and if you plan to buy a PCMCIA WLAN card, be sure to buy the "Amiga compatible WLAN card" for 25 EUR on Ebay which is 100% identical to an off-the-shelf 3Com card for 5 EUR.


Oh well...  :roll:

As a suggestion, why don't you just search for the model that Amigakit was offering?
Otherwise just look that the interface has the right amount of pins (50, 68 or 80p) and you are fine.
For the other ones, you need an adaptor. That's it basically. No need to look for an "Amiga compatible" harddisk.
