- I have an old A1020 amiga 5.25 drive which doesn't work. This doesn't really
- concern me much since 3.5" messydoss drives are more common than 5.25s these
- days, and 440K amigados disks are pretty useless after the novelty wears off.
-
- My question is this: can I use the case and power supply of the 1020 for an
- external hard/cd/floptical drive? I know the data cable would be useless,
- but are the power supply voltages and connecters standard? Has anyone done
- this?
