I found that booting an A1200 without a FDD has two issues,
1. It takes longer to get to the boot / post screen
2. if your booting to WB from hdd you have a DF0:??????? error icon!
------------------
I think that there is a way to fool the amiga that there is a FDD attached to the computer by using a small dongle... (i will have to check aminet for that)
this would also solve the Workbench issue too,...
--------------------
Ideas to use instead of the FDD
1. LS120 device.... (internal ide)
gives you 1.4mb / 720k floppy support
gives you 120MB LS120 disk support
2. IOMEGA drive (internal ide)
this can give you upto 4GB of storage on a cart/disk
3. Jazz Drive (internal ide)
again similar to but slightly faster (not that it mattes much on a amiga) the IOMEGA
4.
Syquest Optical drive (internal ide)
similar to the above but optical instead of magneto these little things can have a large cpacity too, about 1.5GB
that should keep you busy
