Thanks!

Yes you can (although the 2nd need a 44 to 40 pin IDE cable), however you will also need a CF that precent itself as a fixed unit not a removable unit (most Sandisk should work).

you might be better of getting one with for 2 1/2 ide connector if you have
a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 apator cable then it be fine mine all broken know
there one of cables i got made in austrila

the 2 1/2 cf flash adaptors sell on ebay i got spare one somewhere but think u
have to sit it directly onto 1200 mb ide connector so never used it

Those seem horrendously expensive. Look for "CF IDE" on ebay and you'll get hundreds of items from china for less than $3.

Also stick to Sandisk; I had a small amount of grief with a Kingston card.

@ CodeHunter

Yes, those should work. I use these since they have the same footprint as a hard drive. The mounting holes don't align with those on the 1200's hard drive braket, though.

Always remember that SanDisk is one of the most counterfeited companys going. I have been stung in the past.

We sell complete CF IDE Kits fully prepped/parititioned and formatted.  We pre-install our own OS-Install software on the hard disk for ease of setup.

Not to seem like a shill, but if I had to do it over again, I would have bought the AmigaKit one.  I ended up spending more than I "saved" when I bought a generic CF adapter at Frys and a generic card.  Ended up finally getting the adapter to work, once I spent more buying a SanDisk card.

I'll vouch for the amiga kit stuff. Very easy and convenient.
