On 14-Jan-93 you had said something about an a kit to fit an external 3.5 HD on the A1200. Do you have some info on this item. If you have said anymore about this I have missed it. Thanks, Craig <-

Just got the little "pain in the butt to get" connectors I need. I will test it tonight or tomorrow….I still am without an external encloser. The one I planned to use are now discontinued….so if the extended cable works I would say it will be about 2 – 3 weeks till I can find another case and get all the details nailed down. I will announce on CI$ if this product is a go. Dave Elite MicroComputers – via Whap!

Dave: Perhaps you should get my adapter/ mounting bracket after all, as with it you could mount the drive inside one of the many small cases designed for 3.5" drives. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale

Michel: I recently bought a WD 2.5" 60 meg IDE drive and it came with a bracket so it can be mounted in a 3.5" drive bay, complete with a small PC Board that plugs into the small connector on the back of the drive and brings it out to a larger connector, and power connector. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA!

I'm working on an external adapter for 3.5" drive on the A1200….so I would have needed the opposite of that (2mm to .01") Dave Elite MicroComputers – via Whap!
