compatible hds for a1200

Well all 2.5" HDs will fit the caddy just fine even the thicker ones.  But the newer ones will not screw in place.  Only the older ones have the holes lined up to screw on.  AFAIK all drives 2GB up are the newer type that will not have the holes that line up.  No problem as you can use tape to secure the drive on the metal bracket.  I use electrical tape and it works great.  Don't use a rubber band as it will eventually break and your HD will be loose.

I installed a new HD in my A600 yesterday.  It has Kickstart 37.350.  I was able to get any HD to work up to 4000MB but any partition over that size would get an error when formatting.  I installed a IBM 4.86GB HD and simply partitioned it upto 4000MB and left the rest untouched.  I used a strip of electrical tape to hold the drive on the bracket.  Works a treat.

I did verify that even older 1.2GB drives did not have the same holes as the original 60/80MB Conner drives, so you are either going to have to drill holes or secure it with something else.  I prefer electrical tape as it will hold it for a long time with little risk of it breaking or snapping off.
