Installing S/W on new HDD?
« on: September 21, 2007, 12:20:58 PM »
Hello,

Recently dug out my old A1200 and was shocked to read there is an IDE interface in there!!!

Couple of questions:

1. I have brought the IDE interface cable, can I use any 2.5" IDE HDD? (sorry I know this is a H/W question but my 2nd question is more important)

2. Once I have installed the drive will the Amiga still let me boot from floppy and if so do I install Workbench on there by booting into Workbench and formatting / installing Workbench from there?

Thanks guys!
