# I've seen those.
I assumed you'd replaced the floppy with an SSD, but maybe not.

The ST has some weird non-standard stuff going on with external floppies or hard drives. I don't know which would make more sense to hack, but I'd rather leave the floppy drive itself alone. I gather things can be done with the cartridge port, but I think you still need a boot disk to enable whatever it is it can do.

I already use a CF adaptor for my Speccies.

# The A1200 and A600 were designed
to take standard 44-pin IDE laptop hard disks. This flash module is designed as a drop-in replacement for exactly that kind of hard disk, so it's quite easy. Although I did have to file a little bit off the edge of the RF modulator for it to physically fit.

The older Amiga 500s had external hard drives, I have no idea what was inside of them.
