Booting A1200 from Zip/Jazz drive possible??

[Amiduffer]

More wires soldered. All that's left is to solder the 9pin to the wires connected to the main unit and it'll be finished!:nervous:

I'm surprised I didn't burn my fingers :shocked: I had to hold the wires just milimeters from the iron.

Ok, here we go!!! :inquisitive:

All wires connected.

Someone just figured out how to format text in his posts  :-)

How you getting on, you must have resoldered that wire by now  :-D

I have to do more than that. It came loose because the joystick wires barely reached the port and I had to stretch things more then I should have. I have to cut new wires now and unsolder the one's connected. Bleah!! :-P

It works!!!!

And by putting the drivers in my CDboot floppy, I have access to my CDROM drive.

Now I have to figure out what to put on the ZIP disk and how.

Whew!!

Thanks guys. You've been a ton of help.
