About A600 and PC-diskdrive

[mr_yeahman]

Ive got a A600 with a missing intern diskdrive. I tried to plug in a classic PC-diskdrive, and well... not think it work, but the diskicon appear in workbench, it also try to read at boot. Nothing happend then I try a amiga-disk in it.. Any possibles to make it run, if I write a Amiga-image to a PCdisk in the pc?

I also got a amiga-extern diskdrive, it seems not to be workin at all, looked around in workbench ( the OS is on the harddrive ).

BTW, I found the a600 in the dumpster..
I also got a fully functional A500, but I will not take parts from that computer..

Huh, so it´s so easy to make the pcfloppy work on amiga600, cool..
I got tons of pcfloppy-drives, and even more cables.

I got a nice A500, that I gonna leave in orginalshape..
but the pretty poor lookin a600 gonna go for my modding, to learn, and improve the computer.

Well, I looked at the threat about convert a pcdrive, dunno how much I belive it work, I hope, and I think it´s a pretty good chance too... worth to test...
I also intrested in other homemade-adapter/hack-stuff like power up my a600 with a PSU from a PC, and make a pc-mouse work on my amiga too.. on the cheapest possible way.

You can use cocolino for mouse, actually you can use the scroll wheel :-)

Any changes I can build one of these pc>amiga-mouse-adapter with some cables and old cranky PC-parts..
or is it a very advanced hightec-device I must buy.
