NOS HDD Upgrade Kit for A1200?

[RuneRider]

Has anyone ever seen an upgrade package to add a hard drive to an A1200? A friend of mine was told many years ago that no such thing existed when he wanted to buy a drive for his A1200. I just purchased an NOS kit to do just that. Was this perhaps only sold in certain places?

I can find no record of Part Number: 591201-02 in my old Amiga parts catalog. Maybe it came later.

Oh well, I'm glad to have it.

The number AS217 under the sticker is a manual booklet package and is in my catalog. This kit has software and some hardware as well. Odd.

What software is in there? Just a disk with hdtoolbox or something?

It has the Workbench 3.0 install disk and the fonts disk.

I found a reference to this item as a new offering from late 1993 describing it this way:

A1200 Hard Drive Kit- $39
P/N: 591201-01

- install disk and fonts disk
- cable assembly
- mounting screws
- Amiga Hard Disk User's Guide
- AmigaDOS manual
- Amiga ARexx manual
- upgrade instructions
- approved hard drive list

Available from authororized Commodore resellers; the A1200 hard drive kit
requires Commodore Authorized Service installation.

Hi RuneRider, could you provide the part number of the fonts disk ? Many thanks in advance !

The sticker on both disks is not as fancy as those included with machines but the part numbers are the same. P/N for fonts disk is: 370130-01

I remember these kits being offered from resellers. Similar to the kickstart upgrade packs.
