Thanks, Yeah the 600 has a cradle but not ide cable. I work in a computer shop but dont actually have any 2.5" ide cables, not much call for them i suppose. So annoying lol


You can buy the Compaq Presario 1200 XL (or XL-O) drive cable instead. It is ALMOST IDENTICAL to the commodore's original (a little bit longer). Easy to find on Ebay. :idea:

And inexpensive! I've had buy a 3 units lot for US$9.00 plus 2 S&H. :-D

The 37300 ROM can handle up to 1 Gb HD, 37350 version can handle 2 Gb. versions =<37299 cannot handle ANY IDE.

3.0 and 3.1 ROMs requires 3.0 and 3.1 Workbench versions, who is too heavy for poorly equipped A600.  :-(


BTW: Workbench versions up to 3.1 are FREEWARE (needless to say the 3.5, 3.9 and 4.0 are not?!?), but the ROMs ARE NOT!
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Just an upgraded inform: I have an unexpanded PAL A600 with 37300 ROM with an internal 2.5" 2 Gb harddrive running as a charm. Not even a guru, or revalidating crap. :-D

BTW: I've tried an IBM (with bad clusters) 6.5 Gb in it, recognises that too.:crazy:
