Say I was able to get an IDE sidecar HardDrive for the 500. Shouldn't I be able to plug in one of those IDE to Flash Card adapters and use that to transfer the data back and forth? What considerations would I have to give as far as the data format of the card? Would I need, say, CrossDos on the Amiga?
Thanks again!
Yes you can, but you can't "hot swap" the CF card when it is used in an IDE to CF adapter. Not a huge problem with the short boot times for an Amiga, but a slight inconvenience.
As for format, use FAT32 format (I think that is what I used on mine when transferring from my A1200 to PC with PCMCIA to CF card adapter. It might have come on the EasyADF floppy from AmigaKit when I bought the adapter and CF card from them, but you can get the Amiga FAT32 software from other places IIRC).
Some one with a better memory will probably jump in here and give you a better answer.
