Does A1200 support ATA flash drives ?
« on: January 05, 2008, 07:46:13 AM »
Yesterday I found an A1200 with Blizzard 1230 Mk-III 50 mhz with 16mb ram at the recylestation. :insane:

So I need to upgrade a bit to make it usable :-)

Is the Ide controller able to read ATA flash drives , like Hitachi and Apacer ?
If not, are there any ide-controller addon for sale wich does?

Are there any LCD tv's that support the screenmodes on the
A1200 , it will be used in workbench , not games ?

Is the "AMIGA PCMCIA NETWORK CARD MKIII" at Amigakit any
good ?


Thanks for reading. :-D  

Cheers

It should be just fine. However, if you have any 3com or NE2000 compatible PCMCIA cards about, those should work too. The drivers are in aminet.

AFAIK yes. It certainly works with ATA Compact Flash devices, and I have seen Amigas using flash hard-disk replacements.

All LCD TVs will support 15KHz Amiga screenmodes, since they are designed for a 15KHz signal.

Well it's just a PCMCIA network card, so nothing special hardware-wise, but I think you will find it useful having all of the software on floppy disk, since it will make getting online really easy.

@Piru & Motorollin

Thanks for the answers, then it's time to put some money into hardware :-D

@monami

Well , every city have one. As in England , you  should ask some of your fellow citizens since I live in Norway :-)

Well , I paid 50 Nok for it , a bit over £5   :crazy:

Well, im keeping an eye out at the local tip for any amiga stuff I can lay my hands on; as well as a spun aluiminium satellite dish (Eg, no holes) to make an experimental solar furnace with.

No luck yet...And our local tip as just moved to a new site with health and safety rails around each container...So getting satellite dishes out will be, er, difficult...
