Sounds like a plan, make it so...

@ssolie

4.0 would be nice

I have an Overdrive 3.5" drive case that connects via the PCMCIA slot - I could try that but I need the CD-ROM to run the game (and yes, I have tried installing to disk and running from there but didn't work, probably for same reasons which I still don't know)

I suppose I could try and install the Overdrive with 3.0 but I need a drive, then try again to install the game to HDD and put the necessary assigns in place to run it off disk? I used to run with 3.1 ROMS and 3.0 OS.

I need some assistance on how to get around the 4GB partition limit - I take it I need to install something that is less than 4GB if I am only running 3.0 - in which case I need a 3.5" drive that is less than 4GB - so to summarise:

Has anyone got a drive that is less than 4GB which is either 2.5" or 3.5" in size I can have off them please?

I bet you it doesn't work and it turns out to be a cruddy library, although snoopdos doesn't give any clues!

Rude!

Yes it is.
The drive was about 180 - 200 MB, so pretty useless.
It currently has:

4GB 2.5" IDE
64MB RAM
Blizzard 1230/50MHZ
Quad Speed CD-ROM Amiga Q-Drive

and is connected to a TFT monitor.

I want to try a new HDD inside the machine to run OS3.0 exclusively, see if I can get this damn game working. Severely puzzled by it.

Rude!

@Chris

How come you edited my post and not created one of your own?

@JC

The 2.5" sounds ok, although I always struggle with knowing what to do with the old 4GB partition limit?

I don't want to hack this A1200 so I'm ruling out the 3.5" ones - how much do you want for the 2.5" drive?

@Chris

Is it a 2.5" drive and were you serious or was that a top trump joke only? How much?

@thread

Thanks for your feedback and offers - I'm after 2.5" drives only, I guess its better if they are in the Uk as shipping will be minimal (unless I get it from Elbox )

Rude!

On the contrary, are they actually coding much on it right now?

I mean, the new memory system is finished - is there much else to code?

@Outcast

And whats one of those?

@Power

whats a cobber?

@Jack

I'm sorry I still don't get it.
We say good luck in the UK just as a way of saying "hope everything works out well for you - a way of saying we wish you well!

Is it the good luck thing you are querying, or have I misunderstood?

Rude!

@Jack

I'm not sure I follow, how do you mean?

Check PM.

You get the medal for mentioning me most in a post!
Congrats on the new job anyways, and it'll be quiet without you AmiSpammer

Rude!

I don't suppose anyone has a spare working 2.5" drive less than 4GB they want to part with have they and are based in the UK - I'll pay towards shipping and if its worth anything I'll make an offer?

I'm trying to get Evil's Doom SE '98 working on my A1200 still and am planning on building an OS3.0 install only on a new disk - I still think, even with an OS3.0 partition on my HDD currently inside the A1200, that it is referencing some of the 3.9 stuff.

Gotta get this game working.

Rude!

P.S. Apologies, I couldn't see a "wanted" or "classifieds" section anywhere.

I know Swisso (Raoul - excuse spelling) was looking at Freescale replacement CPUs, even got some samples from them I thought?

You might want to try seeing if he managed to get anywhere with his idea?

No Jerry

You can slag off double glazing as much as you like.

There are other websites for that kind of thing

Rude!

I've always been a strong believer in the "that OS that shall not be named" Bounty System.

It gives users a chance to donate, and developers something to work towards! Plus, the more the bounty, the more those said developers know how much interest there is in a particular area and have confidence to develop a program that can be upgraded as time goes on, maybe with updates for a small fee! Sort of like an ongoing income.

That's my opinion anyway, whether liked or not

Rude!
