- Hi Neil,
-
- >> I just managed to obtain the device in the subject for a really
- low price with the hope of using it in my A1200.
- Now, assuming that (a) the A1200 power supply has enough juice to
- drive it and (b) that it is possible to connect it to the IDE
- controller and (c) that I don't care that it is sitting naked on
- the desk with no case, is this possible? <<
-
- Yes this is possible, but a seperate power supply would be a wise
- choice.
-
- >> I realise that I'll have to get a device driver for it from
- somewhere as well as a CD9660 filesystem.

- The IDEfix package does exactly what you want, and even a little
- bit more. A demo is available on AmiNet (disk/misc/idefix.lha).
