HD LED mod on Amiga 500
« on: August 12, 2004, 02:47:41 AM »
I will be getting a Novia HD kit with AdIDE soon for my A500.  I will be mounting a 1.2G Laptop HD inside the A500!  But I wanted to also mount a LED on the A500 to show HD access.  I have an idea:  I have a Atari Falcon030 computer that has a 8G laptop HD installed and the way the Atari handles the LED on this computer is interesting.  The HD and Floppy use the same LED!  So I was thinking it would be cool to do the same thing on the A500.  Maybe going at it a step further, by installing a dual color LED?  Could I tap into the LED with the HD and also have the Floppy hooked up as well?  Any thoughts?

Cool thanks.  I shall try this.  I wonder if hooking it up to the existing floppy LED is a good idea?  I am not a electronics guru but think that this may not be a good idea.  Like if thed floppy and HD are accessed at the same time the LED may blow! :(
