Hi folks,

The deed is done, my beloved miggy is now upright in a gleaming Tower!

(OK, so the plastic facia doesn't exactly gleam, but at least it's cleaner than
the old case was!)

The final part of this upgrade is to fit a new hard drive, as I am constantly
hitting my head on the top of this 200MB unit.  After browsing through Computer
Shopper for a few days, the vast array of options has left me more than a little
confused

I seem to recall that there have been some compatibility issues surrounding some
hard drives, and was just wondering if anyone had a recommendation for what to
pick / avoid?  I will be using the 4-way IDE buffered interface as supplied by
Power Computing.  The rest of the system is A1200, Blizz060, SCSI & 32MB Ram.  I
have a CD-Rom attached to the SCSI.

Is the MaxTransfer rate still an issue with this interface?  Is it worth my
while going for the best seek speed, or will I see no benefit?  I am also
considering putting an ATAPI CD-Rom drive on there as well.  How will this
complicate matters?  I am prepared to forego my current hard drive once the
necessary data is transfered, just in case trying to squeeze theee devices into
the interface is too optimistic...

All contributions gratefully recieved!

Cheers,

Ian
