I don't believe I have a single IDE capable Amiga
that works (does the
A600
have IDE?), both of my A1200's are unstable. On my A3000 SCSI isn't an
issue as I have lots of small SCSI drives, and I gave my A2000's away. I
would just like a way to play floppy based games on the A500 without the
floppies. :-) Of course once I get everything out of storage, I need to
figure out what condition my Amiga's are in before I start worrying about
such things.
A600 have IDE, I have one here (although with a broken keyboard). 1200
usually has troubles with electrolytic capacitors on motherboard, this is an
easy fix. If you want to play floppie games on the 500, the easiest way is:
- A1200
- Memory expansion (at least 4MB)
- CF card or Hard Disk
- A program that read image floppies and emulate a floppy. I don't
remember the name now, but it is easy to find on the net
