- I purchased an A1200 from someone here and when I opened it up and
- attached everything, the computer could not recognize the external IDE
- drive. It pretended almost like there was no drive attached at all. The
- drive itself spun-up correctly and there was plenty of power to it. I even
- tried some of the original installation software that came with the drive, but
- even that said that there were no drives found.
-
- To me it sounds like there is a cable problem because I would assume even if the
- drive was bad that the Amiga/Software would come back with an error message of
- some sort.
-
- Any help/similar problems/solutions would be much appreciated. I've had the
- case open a few times, but nothing seems to be out of place...I've detached
- everything else from the system (expansion stuff, etc.) but nothing seems to
- help. Please respond via email: ejg015@email.mot.com
-
- Thanks,
-
- Jason
