I don`t know too much about hard drives but I have fitted on to my 1200.
There are two sizes of hard drive that I am not sure you are aware of. The
drive that fits into the 1200 is a 2.5 inch. These have connectors whcih have
too many pins that need to be fitted. There are two sets, one that has more
than the other. You will need to fit a small cable to the group of pins that
has the most on it. the other group of 5? pins do not need to be connected. The
cable is small and is just a case of taking them out of the drive and into the
1200.
The other size 3.5 inch will not really fit in and you need a larger connecter
that has some jump lead that needs to be connected.
The Quantum drive should be alright, as all or most drives work fine. All you
need to do is format the drive (like a floppy) and it should work fine.
Having said that I would not take my word for it.
