- Any 2.5" IDE Drive should work, the tricky bit is the cable... there is
- a crossover in the 44 pin connector which means that it is non-standard.
-
- Just get a specific Amiga IDE Drive Lead from an Amiga Dealer and you
- should have no problems.

- I have a Maxtor 85Mb 2.5" IDE drive, which although I have only been using
- it for 2 hours, I heartily recommend (my dealer said they were good drives,
- and I didn't even buy it from him!)
