Having looked at the 3.5" HD of my friend I noticed it needs
a different cable than my 2.5" HD, mhmmm.

I'd need a cable that gives me a 2.5" and 3.5" connect, I plan to
add a 3.5"HD (cheaper :) and just put it next to my Ami, cable
coming out from that little door next to mouseport :)

Well is just a cable enough or does the 3.5"HD need additional current ?
cheapest / easiest way to get a cable ? what about those C= installer
sets, I was told they were for different purpose...

mhm what about those HDs bigger than ... uhm ... those that make troubles
on the PCs ;) can the A1200-ATbus run Giga HDs ?
well, if I remember right the limit was just the max partition size.

I had only one large partition and got in deep trouble after
having 1 checksum error, salv would delete random 30megs :\
So I plan to have lots of partitions, beeing able to backup from
a injured partition. Are 8 possible ? 16 ? 32 ? :)

what about the HDs making trouble, can I run those Conner or
Quantums ? will power supply blow up ? :)

Thanks for any hint,
