Amiga 1000 Hard Drives...

[Andrew Burton]

well, for me I have Amiga 600's. I just got an 2.5" (or is that 3.5"?) laptop harddrive and plugged it in with the appropriate cable. I got mine from Amiga Deals (.co.uk) and they had already done the necessary formatting. They gave me the necessary cable to plug it in, along with a simple to follow instructions. I believe they had OS2 already installed on it too... can't be 100% sure as that was over 7 years ago now.

I'm not particularly clued up on other Amiga models, so I suggest having a look around on the following sites:

www.amigadeals.co.uk
www.amigakit.com
www.amiga.org (may find articles relating to your problem)


I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that come to my mind right now.

Yeah yeah, I know....  What does an Atari guy need with an Amiga HD.    I have a ton of Lynx developer disks, all in Amiga format that I need to read and I have an Amiga 1000, so to make things easier I'd like to add a Hard Drive onto it for doing the OS load up, using the Cloanto tools and transfer those disks over to my PC.

Now for a guy who 20 years ago used to get involved in the numerous Atari vs. Amiga battles, I find it interesting that there are more hard disk interfaces for the ST's then you can count, yet for the life of me, I can't seem to clearly find any Amiga 1000 hard drive interfaces with the exception of the Pheonix motherboard replacement.   Anyone on the list who's an Amiga fan know exactly where I can find a hard disk solution for the Amiga (commercial or homebrew) that is still actively and easily available.
