(I know this is probably the wrong forum, but it's both hardware and software related)
Well, the Install disk I've been given for Workbench 3.0 is corrupted, so while I wait for a replacement I might as well ask some questions about the process. I'm going to be trying to install to a 2GB IDE drive on an Amiga 1200.
1) (This is more of a hardware question, but) Is the IDE cable supposed to be inserted so that the red cable is towards the number 1 on the motherboard and to the right-hand side of the connector on the drive?
2) I had to secure the hard drive to the cradle with copious amounts of electrical tape because the screw holes didn't line up. Will this impair drive performance (heat dissipation etc) in any way?
3) Are there any benefits to using Workbench 3.1? I heard that you can use it with 3.0 roms (which is what I have), and I'm thinking of getting a set of original 3.1 disks instead.
4) Recommended system and secondary partition sizes?
4) Do I install software to the system partition or the secondary partition?
