A1200 modifying.
« on: December 15, 2007, 09:30:29 PM »
I have been thinking about doing a A1200 mod myself.
Seeing pictures of already done mods and reading other peoples ideas. I would like to develop one of my own.

Internal CD-rom is a must, buffered IDE is to.
However, speeding up the A1200 is not a goal at the start. That can be done later on.
But replacing the floppy drive with a ZIP drive.

Then my question, is it possible to run a ZIP drive on the A1200 IDE (using a buffered IDE and IDEfix)?

EDIT: I forgot the most important question.
Is it possible to boot from an IDE zip drive?
(i have a working bootable SCSI zip configuration)

I only need/want the bootable option because when the floppy drive go away the zip drive is the only mean to partition/setup the system. And rescuing it if nescesery.
