I have a question that I have not seen addressed here lately. (If it has could someone e-mail me the answer. I missed about a month's worth of news due to my system going flaky on me.) The question is, Are there any recommendation on how to install a full size 5 1/4" hard drive in to/beside my B2000? I am wondering if there is any problems with line noise, access timings, etc. when using an external case, since that is the only way I have been able to figure out how to get this to work. Any suggestions will be appriciated on what type of case, where to buy it, and disk controllers to buy. Thanks in advance. -- Scott A.

No way to install a FULL HEIGHT 5.25" drive INSIDE the Amiga 2000. If you have the CBM A2090 controller or any controller that has a SCSI port of the MAC-type you can attach that to an external disk-case with its own power supply and any SCSI disk. I found Sunnyvale Memories (1-800-262-DISK) very knowlegeble about what/how to interface disks to the Amiga computers. They are mentioned in Ted Drude's article in Computer Shopper on Hard Disks for the Amiga. I saggest you pick up that issue and read the article. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
