I got my 4000D to recognize an 80GB SATA drive using an IDE-to-SATA adapter. It would not install, however, but I think I had a wonky drive.

If I can find the proper connector (IDE44-to-SATA) I could test a 1200. Although, I think the chic thing to do these days is go CompactFlash :-)

I have kickstart 3.1 for sure.Escom amiga 1200 had 3.1 anyway.

I am considering to get a wireless pcmcia card to connect amiga to my router and scrap an old tower external that i had that only had a hard drive and a cd rom.

So instead of cd rom i would have the pcmcia card for files to be transfered from the pc through network,and a 2,5 inch internal drive.

However i have a 160 gigabyte hard-drive lying aroung idle and thought that maybe i could use it to the amiga.

An IDE hard drive over 127Gb don't work with the standard Amiga IDE controller.

SCSI don't have that limit, of course.

My experience with two different 160GB IDE drives on the A4000 is that HDToolBox only sees something like 128GB of the drive. So it might be possible to use it, but you might not see the full capacity.

Also, for wireless, AFAIK you can only do WEP encryption. If security on your network is a concern, you will probably want to stay wired. Otherwise you can use an open network with MAC filtering* or WEP encryption.

* Again, from a security stance, MAC filtering can be spoofed (that's partly how TJX happened) and WEP encryption can be broken within minutes.

Sure it does, but you can only access the LBA32 size of the disk (128GB).

I know the OP has Kickstart 3.1, but I still have to ask...

Why?? You can use up to 128 GB with the IDE controller even if you only got a Kickstart 3.0. Only reason I see to upgrade to Kickstart 3.1 is if one wants to use OS3.5 or 3.9.
