Speaking of IDE

[Fester]

Hi,

I have a Data Flyer Plus at home that I'm going to fit in my A2000.

As far as I know, that would work, but does anybody know how large an IDE hard drive I can put on an Amiga 2000?

Kickstart 3.1 ROMS installed.

You can put a drive of any size in there.  But I believe you're going to be limited to 4gb partitions.

That's really good to know. Thanks. I have several spare IDE drives, so all I need now is to get a flat cable and I can test my Data Flyer Plus.

Thanks for the information.

Hi Guys and Gals,

Well thanks for trying to answer my question, but my Amiga knowledge is very limited. I feel like my IQ buffer just ran out of juice. :-)

I have an Amiga 2000 with 3.1 ROMS installed. I'm running OS 3.1.

I have a Data Flyer Plus card which allows, according to the Big Book of Amiga hardware, to use SCSI or IDE devices. So I intend to install the board soon.

Problem is, I don't know if it will run my old 40GB hard drives correctly...

So what I understood from this thread is that there is a size limitation.

I could perhaps just try a IDE compact flash device but it would be nice to know if the Data Flyer works first...

Happy new year fellow Amigans!
