Hi:
As I don't have friends to show my improvements with the Amiga, I want to show an small but nice one I've just done: To put the HD compact flash aside the Amiga.
Why? I had always the Amiga opened, to use the Compact flash HD with WinUAE, and to change between different CF Hard Drives I have. Finally, putting the HD aside with an slot on the Amiga, I can close the Amiga with all the screws (I had to search for them).
So this was the chance to try the internal cd rom I installed months ago. As you can see it opens and closes perfect, and the HD on it's side I believe is great.

To the ones that didn't answer: haven't you thought putting it outside like this? Don't you like it?

Hi,
Nice setup. I want to install a CDROM in my 1200 like you did. I have already installed a removable CF card on my A4000 (on the back, in the unused "expansion slot" so it wouldn't use up a Zorro slot)

Nice. I'd like to see how it all fixes together inside.

Lots of users including myself have their CF card connected to the IDE removable from outside.

My technique was to glue the 2.5" IDE->CF adapter to the top of the internal PCMCIA connector and then increase the height of the PCMCIA slot in the case using a series of fine files. This makes the slot much cleaner (and easier to do especially for a novice) than cutting a hole in the case with a Dremel or something.

So you have the IDE-CF adapter on top of the PCMCIA? But there isn't much room there, and if you haven't got a Pcmcia card on, you have only the upper "wall" to guide the CF into. In mine it's like connecting the card to the pcmcia slot.

very nice work, what OS are you using?

[Retrofan]

Hi: It's Os 3.9 on both on the video; Dopus from Amikit conversion and on Sys4Aga too. They are 16Gb Sandisk Ultra and 32Gb Trascend Compact Flash

And they are Boing Bagged 2 because I felt I was loosing chip memory with more BBags

BTW I want to thank to Cammy because I first saw Dopus installation in her videos, althought I didn't use finally the Dopus installation she told me (was expensive) and made the Amikit conversion to a real Amiga...

Does anyone know about those graphics on the Amikit conversion windows?
