Can anyone advise if any notebook hard drive is ok for A1200.  On ebay they are expensive considering the size.  I have seen 20gig for 60-70 quid but don't want to pay unless will work


I have a 4,3gig drive on a WB3.1 machine. If you want to use a bigger one you should get OS 3.5 or 3.9.

I have just upgraded to 3.5 OS.  I have 1 gig drive but looking to have maybe 20gig, which like I mentioned they are reasonable at 60-70 quid.  Just wanted to know if the cable is same type, because being a PC man the PC has separate power to PSU and ide cable, but Amiga of course has data cable and power in one, I have heard they work same as laptop but wanted to check with someone that has done this b4 splashing hard earned cash.


If both drives are 2.5" then you can use the original cable.  2.5" drives use 44pin IDE cable and 3.5" drives use 40pin cable.
