2.5 notebook Hard disk on amiga 1200

Hello Amiga Fans! I have a question: but any Notebook 2.5 hard disk (under 2 Gb) can be installed to any Amiga 600/1200?!? :-? Reply me please!  :-)

also 20gb? And, i have afraid for another problem: :-( the orange cable (if i send a photo you can see, but i guess is the comunicator for the hard disk with the amiga) looks like cutted... so what it uses only IDE cable to comunicate and for power?

if i use hard disks with more of 4gb i can't install theres? (I want only to use the MAX partition space (4gb), not all the hard disk space)

i not know well AmigaOS, damn me!!! :furious:
But i know the concept it i have need the CD-ROM driver to install 3.5 Version (or not? for the 3.5 exists also a Floppy Drive basic version? This cause i have basic builment on my A1200 (68020 Processor with 2Mb chip RAM, AGA, no FAST RAM), *@&! . :madashell:

thanks for the drivers (Aminet you are great!!!), there help me when i buy a CD-ROM interface... but this is the problem: i haven't the "DRIVE" not the "driver"! So what: i have to buy somethin' or just use a serial/parallel interface to connect the AMIGA to the PC Drive? (IDEA :idea: i have a unused CD-ROM of an old Pentium, so what i can use him? (af, i haven't the power cable))

oh oh... there now born the problems...

An 3.5 Hard-disk and CD-ROM drive has need not only the IDE cable but also a power supply (4 pins)

For the IDE Cable Converter there are not problemsm i can buy one at any moment, but first solve this problem.

Hey guys, i'm back! :-D

I have leaved Amiga.org for 1 year, but i say this: i have buyed a 527Mb 2.5 hard-drive preformatted AMIGA and it WORKS! Now my next target is to install a CD-ROM drive, but i have a question: it comes found on AmigaOS(WB) 3.0 like a normal disk drive?
