I have just found the following product on e-bay and i was wondering whether there is sth like that available commercially or one could make it by himself. Is it really possible in a decent way? Anyway, it sounds like a good, cheap and clever idea for anyone who doesn't need to follow the difficult way in order to install a hard disk in his miggy. I'd like the suggestions of more experienced amigans on this:
SILENT AMIGA 1GB COMPACT FLASH HD 3.1 INSTALL + ADAPTER
Have an Embedded, No Moving Parts HD in your AMiGA!
THIS KIT COMPRISES OF TWO BRAND NEW PARTS:
Compact Flash to IDE Adaper PCB.This is a great new little piece of hardware that enables you to use Compact Flash memory cards as Hardrives and even has master and slave settings jumper! This meens that you can plug the pcb onto your normal IDE cables where normally a HD or CD drive will go. This is the best make Compact flash card you can get 1Gb of space is well enough for Workbench 3.0 right upto AmigaOS 3.9. I have installed Workbench 3.1 and Idefix, MUI, Aweb and Miami for internet. So you can just plug the Kit in and it works straight away!
I don't know if it works but here is the link:
