If you remove the shield from the 1200 , a 3.5" hd will fit inside.
The A1200 ide controller supports 2 drives , so it is possible to connect a cd to it as well. There is or was a 2.5"->3.5" 3.5" cable. But in that case I recomend to use a pc psu with the hd and cd There is no way around , not having a system disk and using a new hd is only possible if you have hdtoolbox. Hdtoolbox is included on the 3.x disks. /Michael _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
