ScuzzBlog: Diaries October 2019 Entry 2nd October 2019: Post 01: Amiga 600HD - The saga day 2. Amiga 600HD - The saga day 2. As ever I sleep on things and then return to the crime scene to try and unravel the ravelling. The problem was the floppy and I wanted to have another go at getting it working. So I took the thing apart again and cleaned thoroughly and mucked around with those jumper settings. All to no avail as she refused to boot. I hit another snag whilst cleaning the motherboard as there is one of the pins missing from the IDE connector. I am starting to fear the worse for this computer. I have so many A600s and I can never remember testing this machine. They were never my most favourite given that I always viewed them as a poor mans Amiga 1200. I found the original hard drive for one of my other 600s and connected up. Note that the cradle for the 600 has smaller feet than the Amiga 1200. The drive spins up but refuses to boot. The external floppy and internal floppy will boot from the cold. This has left me in a bit of a quandary as I now am very unsure of using this computer for the hard drive that is on the way. And so tomorrow I am climbing the boxes to drag down another A600HD I have that is in a box. I can't recall if the drive is working. More on that tomorrow.
