2.5 notebook Hard disk on amiga 1200

[amigagr]

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

@CDE_MusiX:

To make things easy to begin with, just get a 2.5" laptop harddrive and install the Workbench that came with your computer.

With that Workbench (3.0 or 3.1) practically everything works and it also needs much less resources (3.9 needs more than the A1200s stock 2MB chipmem to be really usable).

Also if you plan to attach an external CD-rom you will also need to get a beefier powersupply.

How do you now that the harddrive is locked?
Does Amiga regonize it anyway? is Amiga asking for the password when trying to partition and formating the drive?

[Chain]

Hey guys, i'm back! :-D

I have leaved Amiga.org for 1 year, but i say this: i have buyed a 527Mb 2.5 hard-drive preformatted AMIGA and it WORKS! Now my next target is to install a CD-ROM drive, but i have a question: it comes found on AmigaOS(WB) 3.0 like a normal disk drive?
