After finding out that dispite what programs like SysInfo and others told
me, that my HD inside my A600 was in-fact an IDE HD and not an SCSI (I
always thought it strange that 600s can't take an SCSI but yet there is one
in mine) I moved it from my A600 to my CD32+SX1. It now works fine,
but even after using ReOrg v3.11 on it it reads and writes like a slug.

Although it only used to go at about 40k/s (Double the speed of a floppy)
it now goes SLOWER, yes SLOWER than even a floppy!! Would re-formatting
it help? Do I need a new, stronger, power-pack? I don't really want to
do either of these options as cash is short to buy disks to back it up
onto or to buy a power-pack but I will if I have to.

Note: If you are reading this from comp.sys.amiga.hardware please
      mail me as I don't subscribe to this newsgroup.
