Adding a hd to an Amiga 600

[mrbill317]

I just won an auction for a nice 2.5" 4.0 gig hard drive
for my Amiga 600.

Does the ribbon cable supply power for a laptop or do I need something special?

I know 3.5" drives need to have a 'Y' off the floppy drives power.

I dont think theres a cradle. Ill have to figure something out

Yeppers I have 2.05 roms and extra 1mb in trapdoor with clock.

When I bought my 600 it came with a hard drive already , a modified 3.5" to sit on top.
Figures during shipping the logic board got fubared.
I was able to order a replacement drive to move logic boards and hope it works.
Its only a gig'er but has adf2disk and stuff on it which I dont want to loose.

I just ordered a 4.1 gig laptop drive for inside and a 2.5" ribbon cable from apple to make connection short.

Next I will add 3.1 roms probably.
