- Hello all.
-
- I've got this old external floppy drive lying around (Power PC880B) and
- I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a cheap PC HD floppy drive and
- just swap the drives in the case and expect it to work with my A1200.
-
- I'm not interested in the blitz copy stuff so it won't matter if that doesn't
- work.
-
- Since a HD drive can be bought for about 20 quid and the newer HD Power Drives
- cost >70 I suspect that it won't quite be this simple.
-
- Thanks for any help/advice,
-
