I own a TrumpCard 500 hard disk, and would like to use it on an Amiga
1000. The problem is, I am confused about exactly how it should be
plugged into the A1000. Some people have said that the 86-pin edge
connector on the A500 is flipped both top-to-bottom and left-to-right
from the connector on the A1000, while others have said that it is only
flipped left-to-right.
Could someone clear up, once and for all, exactly how the connectors
on the A500 and A1000 differ? I do not really want to plug this hard
drive in wrong, and end up frying my A1000, TC500, or both. I would
like to know exactly how I should plug the TC500 into the A1000
(backwards and upside-down, or just backwards) without blowing either
the A1000 or TC500.
BTW, I realize that some of the voltages on the A500 differ from
those found on the A1000, but this should not be a problem because
I am using an external power supply for the HD and these voltages are
not used.
