Interesting project.
I tried to boot my old A500 a couple of weeks ago, but the add-on hard drive, not surprisingly given its age, had some problems reading the disk.
For me the joy of reliving the heyday of the Amiga is lined to the aesthetic of the keyboard, mouse and CRT, so I was looking at something more along the lines of a floppy emulator like https://cortexamigafloppydrive.wordpress.com/ https://cortexamigafloppydrive.wordpress.com/ as I still have the original hardware.
- bwldrbst 11y agoForget about old mechanical hard drives. I installed one of these in an Amiga 2000 a couple of weeks ago: http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SCSI2SD http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SCSI2SD. It lets me use an SD card as a HD. It's not the fastest but works perfectly even with my really ancient SCSI controller. It's also cheaper than finding an IDE controller for these machines or a SCSI to IDE adapter. I installed some 3.1 ROMS a few days ago, now I just need a 68030 or 040 card for it :]
