Nice helpful reply, but is it really a SCSI interface inside the A1200?  I thought this was just IDE.

Or are you referring to the SCSI on the accelerator?

Can someone clarify for sure to stop this nice novice making an expensive mistake?

A1200 has built in 2.5" IDE inside. Some A1200 accelerators have SCSI or a place to add a SCSI board on them.

As an alternative, a lot of people are getting 2.5"IDE to CF Card adapters and using that in their 1200's. Might be a cheaper way to go depending on the cost of a HD. It consumes less power, puts out less heat and is (obviously) quiet compared to the tiny whisperings of a 2.5" HD.
