[comp.sys.amiga] Adding a hard drive to A500

hoefling@sp28.csrd.uiuc.edu (Jay Hoeflinger) (08/31/90)

Sorry if this has been covered before, but can someone summarize the
hardware/software needed to add a hard drive to an Amiga 500?
I know that there are a few different drive types and lots of different
manufacturers.  I don't know what kinds of drives need which kinds of
interfaces and which software drivers.

I've recently been seeing quite a few used hard drives for sale fairly
cheaply.  I would like to pick one up, but I'm afraid of getting one
that is only useable from a PCjr or something.  I also don't know what
software is runnable from which types of hard drives.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.
