So... My hard drive setup in the A2000 until yesterday was:
SupraDrive Wordsync SCSI zorro card with Sony/Apple 40MB Scsi HD
and
Tandem IDE controller zorro card (no-autoboot) with WD 20gb HD & CD-Writer
The SCSI HD died (It was on its way out for ages) and replacing it seems to be harder and more expensive than I would have hoped for.
So.... 50pin SCSI hard drives are rare and expensive to buy and ship. 68pin seems a little easier to find and slightly cheaper and I have a 68pin>50pin adapter. Are there any type of 50/68pin SCSI drives that won't work ?
Is there any way to make the Tandem IDE controller boot Workbench WITHOUT needing a floppy disk ? If I do need a floppy disk what do I need to do to make it boot and will I need the boot disk every time I reset or just on a cold boot ?
