pc cd drive on a1200 standard
« on: April 25, 2006, 02:08:46 PM »
Given that i get the correct ide cable and a 12volt power supply, is it possible to run a normal pc cd rom drive on a standard a1200?
thanks

That is good news, as the amiga cd rom drives seem to be quite expensive on ebay.

Any good ideas for how to supply power to these devices?

Also does an a3000 have the correct power conectors to power pc drives?  Thanks alot

So, does the Amiga 3000 have scsi or ide as standard?  I think it has scsi2 but I just want some confirmation.  I take it scsi and ide drives both have the same molex conectors, i dont know anything about scsi lol.
Thanks
