I need to replace my 105MB SCSI drive on my AMiGA
I want to upgrade to a larger HD but I'm not sure what's compatable. I'm sure I can get a much larger one for less than the $1200 I spent on this one...

Would a brand new SCSI drive be compatable with this ancient machine? It's a 25 Pin SCSI connection, just like a parallel port. I'm not sure if I just need an adaptor or need to find an old SCSI-I type drive.

1200.00 boot partition?

What the hell are you doing with a 105mb drive?

They didn't make them any bigger back then! Well, they did... but they were waaay to expensive...

Commodore used SCSI 1 for their first Amigas (later IDE). So it's no problem to plug in a SCSI wide, ultra wide, 160 or 320. You just need an adaptor.

I can't really remember anymore but the 25 pin thingie looks like the standard SCSI external connector. Some scanners used that but it's hard to get adaptors for it.

Cool... just wondering coz I've had all sorts of problems installing older IDE drives on newer computers... kept getting ATA read errors in FBSD...

Yes you can use newer scsi models also. They just won't be that quick on your old goodie like in a new pc ;)

I still have alot amiga drives left but i think it's not worth it to send it to you. Think you have a better time finding some old scsi/scsi-ii disc on 540mb that someone wants to donate to you locally ;)

But good luck with the amiga.

SCSI is way over priced, if you could hook up a Serial ATA drive (10k rpm eide) it would be pretty much just as fast, I don't know about Amigas though.

The 25 pin was for the external connector on most Amigas. The actual SCSI-1 connector is the 50 pin connector that will be on the inside of the machine connected to the back of the drive.

Out of curiosity is this an A500 with an external drive, or an A1000 (or 2000) with the internal drive?

On the A1000 and the 2000's they offered a whole series of 3rd party add on cards that had the additional drive literally screwed to the card. See the image below.

Let me know what you have, I have numerous 50 pin drives that might work for you.

Hi David, yes it's in an external case hooked up to my Amiga 2000 through my Supra SCSI card. I took it out of the case and yes it has 50 pins, it's been a while since I've seen it... about 20 years...

I remember having all kinds of problems installing it back then... the software didn't autoconfigure like the new computers nowadays... I had to specify the tracks/sectors/blocks, etc when I low level formatted it... also remember not getting it to work internally because of termination issues or something...

It's been a while, but I'd really like to start messing around with the old thing again and collect some of my old groups demos for memories... get it hooked up to the ineternet, etc...
