I went the same way when I purchased my A1200. It's really no big problem at all. As you said, voiding the warranty is the biggest thing to worry about. You also will need four small screws to hold the hard drive in place, along with some HD installation software. For this you have three choices: 1.) Borrow the A4000 HD installation software, 2.) Buy Commodore's HD installation package which I believe includes cable, screws, and software, and my personal favorite 3.) download one of the HD installation utilities here on Compuserve. I don't remember off hand which file I actually downloaded, but it was uploaded by some popular A500 HD manufacturer. All it really does is partition the drive and write the "Rigid Disk Block". Good Luck, Keith.
