Replace HD with CompactFlash memorycard

[Harrison]

I think all of us who still have Amigas still use them mainly because we enjoy fiddling around with them. That was always half the fun even back in the 80's and 90's, buying new hardware and hooking it up and then playing around to see what it could do. It's exactly the same for me with PCs, but they don't quite have that special charm of the Amiga.

Not to mention they should be better for what we pay for them

Welcome Raffaz.

I've also been interested in trying a flash card replacement for an HD in an Amiga. Would definitely be interesting to see how well it works. Would also then be possible to create a completely silent Amiga.

No no no! What is the world coming to? That would be like having a silent cement mixer....it just wouldn't be right!!

Welcome Raffaz. An Amiga should never be silent, but then again, I also wait for the new IDE64 v.4 expansion card to be released, you connect it to your C64, and then you can add up to 2 HDDs (max. 10GB) and one optical drive. With the right software you can so use the HDDs and don't need a floppy again, and that means, no floppy rattling
