CF hard disk

[smerf]

Hi do you know if i can put more than 1 Cf hard disk in an Amiga 1200? and if i can how do i do it?

Hi,

If all you are going to use it for is to install games, then why not install the adapter in a disk drive bay and mount it on the front of your computer. This way you can have different CF's made up with different OS's and different games. All you would have to do is just turn off your Amiga, unplug the CF that your tired of and plug in a new CF. Face it the Amiga OS doesn't really take up that much rooms and it is a lot better to just by a bunch of CF's install the OS and then mount your games on that CF. It would be just like using a floppy drive but with a lot more space. Like 2GB or 4GB.etc.

I removed my CF from my Amiga 1200, might play around with it by mounting it on the front panel of my A4000 Desktop. The only thing is getting it to run with a CD drive mounted. Haven't had any luck with that yet.

Yes that is a nice idea i think i will try that

Now that I have a 1200 I was thinking of adding two CF cards.  One to hold the OS, games,programs etc.and the other to use as a way to transfer files between machines.

Possible??

Hi,

Yes, from what I can see from my Amiga 4000, I just added a Buddha to my A4000, on the Amiga ide port I have my CF drive set up for the boot drive, then on the Buddha along with I mounted my second 32 gig CF drive I had it set up as a program drive.

now notice,

Amiga ide port -- one CF drive 8 gig mounted as a boot drive and work drive.
Buddha port -- another CF drive mounted as a program drive.

now I have my buddha interface working with a CD drive and a 4 gig hard drive.

Once again an Amiga 4000.
