But if you get a 2.5" drive it'll fit in the case
Pffff, one of my A1200's has a 5.25" drive fitted. OK when I say fitted I meen hanging out the back in a jiffy bag, but I had 2.5gb of storage... woohoo. The drive became my first PC hard disk, but I still have most of the contents on my PC to this day although I rarely load the emulator anymore.
Whats the newest WorkBench version- and is it different to Amiga OS
The last I can remember using on an A1200 was Workbench 3.1. One of the post-Commodore Amiga owners was supposedly making a new version but I do not know if it ever saw the light of day.
Workbench is aesthetically dated now but I believe that in terms of power it can still rival Windows to this day in some aspects, it's only in the last few years that Windows has even caught up.
I wonder what ever happened to the guys who made it? I worked with Dave Haynie and Jeff Porter at a multimedia firm briefly after they left Commodore, but i've not heard of anything they've done since.
Did you know Jeff had 3D accelerated Amiga hardware running on the Amiga 10 years or so before the PowerVR and 3DFX cards appeared on the PC, but Medi Alli (sp) said nobody would ever pay for 3D accelerated hardware... lol.
