pan1k you are 100% correct. The Amiga 1200 is alive and so is the HD I just discovered it from work. Now I need to make sure by looking at the picture in this forum that I match the way it is installed with mine. I am going to use the original A500 power supply instead of the 300 atx power supply. Because if I made a mistake again, it will simply not turn the amiga on and everything is fine, verses the 300 watt atx power supply will just force it on and cause problems...BUT I DO NOT WANT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKE AGAIN!! I am going to keep looking at that picture in this forum to make sure it is correct. Please guys tell me the red ribbon on the IDE that should be on the pin 1 of the HD and the Amiga 1200 IDE port right? Also, also, is that picture in this forum enough to make sure I do this right ones and for good? Thanks in advance.
