- In just a couple of posts earlier, Mr Robbins stated that the plain A600's have
- a good chance of not including IDE support in ROM, but that an upgrade kit can be
- bought from Commodore which includes such support.
-
- What I want to know is if this is also the case with the A1200 ??
- I expect there to be a simple plug-in-and-go system, where a hard drive can
- be fitted and without having to buy extra upgrades to allow HD compatibility.

- Ahmad.
