ScuzzBlog: Diaries January 2018 Entry 18th January 2018: Post: 2 Hard Driving the 1200 - In from the cold Some may recall my fun and games with a load of old 2.5" hard drives that were broken and subjected them to cold days in the freezer compartment and then hit them with the blunt end of a screwdriver. Remarkably three of them came to life and I have switched them on daily from the brick to check activity but not seen what was going on as I didn't have them connected to a monitor. And so today I decided to take the three Amiga 1200s with the revitalised 2.5" drives and hook them up. A1200 number one Sadly no memory card so I doubt we will get very far with Ishar OK good sign that the drive is working 819K of memory wont go very far Looks like one of my drives though not a main computer. Really cannot remember where this drive came from Quite a busy games drawer Fortunately has Ishar so lets have a blast and see how I get on As I anticipated.. Out of memory Looks very familiar though not composed. Looks like a file dump so probably simply a back-up Definitely a back up So funny what you come across on old drives... Whacky stuff Banshee !!!! If I only had some memory OK Amiga number two Definitely not a drive of mine < Amiga number three Yikes OS 3.5... Definitely not of my making... Weird !! SWOS maybe mine File Manager and Parnet are mine I really never use Opus5 There was also a CD at some stage Nope not my drive that. Useful though Ends session So my three salvaged 2.5" drives work just keep them functioning by switching on each day. Only way it seems or they will just lock up
