- Hi everyone. I'm looking for a hard drive controller that will work
- with an Amiga 2000 that has WB 2.04 installed and a Seagate 296N half height
- 5 1/4" drive formatted at 80 megs. It also has a Microbiotics 8UP! ram board.
- The controller would of course have to allow me to keep the board and all. I'm
- just looking for a no-frills card (don't need an accelerator or ram expansion).
- If anyone has one that they 'know' will work on this setup, drop me a mail
- message. Even if someone doesn't have a card for sale, but has the same setup
- and knows what kind of inexpensive card will work, please tell me what
- kind it is and the name of the company that makes it. I'm buying this system
- used and the controller that comes with it is not compatible with WB 2.04.
- Since I know absolutely nothing about hard drives and controllers, I figured
- I had better get some help before going off and wasting $150 bucks on a
- card that won't work. Thanks a lot.
