Macintosh hardware in Amiga?
« on: July 26, 2006, 11:44:07 PM »
I recently aquired an A2000 with 2500 specs (2091 scsi card, HD, 020 board, thanks doomy!) but it didn't have a CDROM. I assume that just about any old 50pin scsi drive would work, is that correct? The only problem is, I am running WB1.3 and it seems rather... limited. Either that, or I just don't know what I am doing. Probably the latter. Today I cannibalized 3 Macs and scored [BRAG] 2 scsi cdroms, one being older with a caddy, two scsi hard drives, one 4.5gig but don't know about the other, 2 68040 processors at 25mhz and 33mhz (not EC either!), and a 350mhz PPC daughtercard. Not too bad for $5, huh? [/BRAG] Will any of these cdroms work for sure, and can I get them to work in WB1.3, and will that 4.5gig be too much for the 2091 card? Thanks, and sorry for the long, rambling post.

Great, thanks for the info. How can I tell if I have the rev. 7 roms, and if I don't, how can they be aquired? Can 3.1 read ms-dos formatted disks? I am also not sure how to get stuff from aminet onto my miggy. Thanks again for the help; you guys are awesome.

Yeah, a newer version of WB is definately on the agenda. I definately don't have the rev. 7 chips on my 2091, so I need to find out how to get a hold of them. Also, how does one format a hard drive in 1.3? I tried formatting one of the Mac HD's, but the drive didn't come up in WB.
