- I have a XT IDE controller/adapter and a Seagate 40M IDE Harddisk currently
- installed in a XT clone. I would like to know if it would be possible to use
- this controller and harddisk in an Amiga. I know there is a shareware project
- that allows an old MFM controller/harddisk to be used. My question is:can I use
- this IDE adapter in place of the MFM controller? Would it be necessary to write
- a new device driver?
- Any help/opinion/info would be welcome.
-
- PS: the XT IDE controller is from Juko Electronics.
