That's not a problem. I installed a Buddha IDE controller into my A3000 a couple of weeks ago. I have 2 floppy drives installed in the front bays and a single IDE hard drive installed in a cradle below and behind the floppy drives in the correct position. There is lots of space remaining to add a second hard drive either ontop of the floppy drives or ontop of the cradled hard drive (just use tie-wraps, double sided tape, etc). If I could only get the Buddha CD software to install then I'd be tempted to cut a hole in the front casing above the floppy drives and install a laptop CD ROM Drive there. As it is, I've had to leave the cover off and just rest a regular 5.25" CD Drive ontop of the floppies.
The problem I'm having with the software is that the install program keeps reporting taht there is insufficient space on my hard drive to install the software. I have a large HD partitioned and formatted to a single 3GB partition which is almost empty, but I think the install program is reading the drive geomentry and because it is greater that 4GB then it is reporting a negative capacity and halting the install. In the end, I had to install Siamese v2.5 on it and link the A3000 to my PC and install OS3.5 on the A3000 using the CD on my PC across the null-modem cable.
Does anybody know what I can do to force this ****ing install program to work? My only other though is to use a small 2GB drive instead, install to that and then copy the whole 2GB drive over to the larger drive...
