2.5 notebook Hard disk on amiga 1200

i thing that the 2.5 disks don't use xtra power cable, they take the supply from the ide cable, but... i'm not sure...
for use of more than 4gb disks you need to install amigaos 3.5/3.9 OR a patched version of FFS and scsi.device in os3.1. the ''How do i...'' is an other story!

if you mean that you wand to install a 2.5 inch disk that has more than 4gb, of course you can, but you need os 3,5 or 3,9 to handle right partitions bigger than 4gb. OR if you know well the amiga os you can do it and with 3,1 workbench patched properly for that purpose.

even the exist of only some fast ram dubles the speed of the 1200 so you have to find a memory card or better an accelarator with at least a 68030 cpu and some ram instaled on  it. the cdrom driver consept it's easy to solve: go to http://aminet.net/search.php?path=disk/cdrom and you'll find a lot

you can use your unused pc cdrom but you need an ide cable to do this. the cheaper solution is to buy an adaptor for the internal ide port of the a1200 44 pins to 40 pins. then you can connect a 3,5 disk in the one port of the cable as a master and the cdrom to the other as a slave. in the driver of the cdrom you set then scsi.device unit 1 and it's ok. check in amigakit if you don't have this kind of adaptor

yes the power is a small problem. i have a 150W ps for my amiga and i connect the cdrw directly with the ps
