- Hi Amiga users,
-
- I've some questions about connecting a PC hard disk drive to my Amiga.
-
- What i have:
- Amiga 500 Rev.5 (bought in 1988) with Kickstart 1.2
- 0.5Mb internal memory expansion
- 3.5'' external disk drive
- PC hard disk drive (MFM, 40Mb)
-
- What i need:
- Controller interface to hook the PC hard disk to the Amiga.
- Kickstart 1.3 for booting from harddisk (don't want to boot from floppy anymore)
- Power supply for the hard disk
-
- My questions:
- Does anyone have such a controller? (where can i get it?)
- Has someone done this 'project' before?
- Is it possible to use the PC power supply for both the harddisk and Amiga?
-
- I'm sure there're many people interested in this stuff, especially those
- with less money for an A590 :)
-
- If you have some answers to this questions, or if you have some other
- information about the subject, please inform....
-
- Thanks,
-
