#Want HD for A1200
15 messages in this thread
Still looking for an internal hard drive for my Amiga 1200. 40 or 80 megabyte
units will do nicely. Maxtor and Conner Peripherals preferred, but Quantum may
be okay as well. Would also like to buy a Commodore hard drive installation kit
for the A1200, in case anyone's got a re-registerable set to unload. How'd $125
for a 40M and $175 for a 80M sound? Used is fine, so long as it's working 100%
and has not been abused or otherwise on it's last legs.
To the person who replied to my earlier inquiries, sorry, but I forgot to save
your name and e-mail address (BIG oops) Definitely interested in that drive of
yours–let's work out the details so I can get that money order off to you!

Rodney,
Let me know if the Toaster goes ala carte. Either me or a friend would be
quite interested.
If a trade interests you, I currently have both a DCTV *and* an
OpalVision. Perhaps we could work something out…

Thanks Jonathan, although I'd prefer to steer away from ala carte, I'll
keep you in mind. Later –

Perhaps you can help me. I haven't been able to figure out how to pick up
resources after you destroy an enemy craft in AmrourGeddon. Any suggestions?
Thanx – Chris
Some have them, and some don't. Enemy tanks are good for resources,
but planes, you can practically forget it – it's wasted, pretty
much. The whole key to the game is knowing where the Nuetron bomb
parts are on the map. All you have to do to get any resources from
destroyed units is to drive over them (aka tank). Basically, run
over them. Forget using a stupid hovercraft, the thing can't even be
controlled well enouph to run a straight line! The real trick is
knowing where to unload the Nuetron bomb! Talk about frustration!
Lob a bomb where it should go and find out that nothing happens
(missed it by a few preverbial meters!!) You practically have to use
your bomber as a throw away weapon – even if you get there in one
piece you have to dive bomb the sucker and risk crashn'burn to get a
pinpoint on the sight. It's a fantastic game, a friend and I linked
together when he brought his A500 over. We had a literal BLAST!
hehehe. Called Psygnosis about it, gave 'em kudos and the like and
asked them if they had any other games like it – and they said (about
a year or so ago) they had another game similar (can't think of the
name) but hadn't any plans for ArmourGeddon II.

When I find resources (I'm assuming that the geometric solid is a resource) I
don't ever seem to pick them up, even when I run over them. Then I always end
up running out of materials before I get the whole bomb together.
Oh well, I'll keep trying. Chris
Only the Heavy Tank can pick up a bomb part – you get around in them
faster if you drop Teleport Pods with your bomber in the vicinity of the
Nuetron Bomb resource. The Light Tank, Hovercraft and Heavy Tank can pick
up any normal resource by running over it. If you don't pick it up you
were either going to fast or missed it by a hair.
Hope this helps…

Hmmm…. Perhaps I was going to fast to pick up the resource. I'll have to
try again. Thanx.

Like a pipe dream. Figure on $220 for the 80MB drive alone. Another $10
for the cable. Then d/l Microbotics' RDPrep and have at it.

I'm selling the original 40MB HD that came in my A1200 (replaced it with a
120MB HD). The price I am asking is $150. It comes with the cable and it is
preformatted with NO errors. Reply here, EMail or call (602)459-7627. By the
way…the A1200 is an AWESOME machine!!!
Thanks. I did download RDPrep and it looks real good. But it does not include a
device driver, and a good look through my 3.0 disks reveals that Commodore has
not included scsi.device or any other hard drive related items. Looks like I'll
be picking up their $30 installation kit. As for the drives, I'm wondering if
maybe these 2.5" ones are simply too new and sought-after to be flooding the
used market the way the smaller Mac drives did. I'll likely pay a little extra
($250 or so) and get myself a new Conner Peripherals drive. I've had great
results with this brand and would like to stick with it if I'm going to have to
shell out $$ for a new one.
Jeff,
I think that scsi.device is loaded from rom when you boot up the A1200 or
A4000 and WB 3.0, at least thats how it seems to work on my A1200. You
can utilize the FastFileSystem the same way.

The "scsi.device" is rom-resident. No disk-based drivers are needed.
The only reason for getting their HD install kit is the cable. Which can
be had for less that half their asking price….

Brian, Richard, thanks for the tip. Guess I'll skip that $30 hard drive
installation kit and put that money into a Conner Peripherals drive, rather
than a Quantum.
