Hmmmm...
I didn't know bloodnet was out on the Amiga, was it one of the later releases, will it work on an ordinary 1200?

Blood Net
There are two versions - A500 and AGA. It should work okay with a normal A1200. However, I wouldn't play it without a hard disk!
It came out in 1995, although the original PC version was 1993. |

Harddrive?
I'm thinking about purchasing a hard drive for my 1200,
I was wondering, how hard is it to install the HD to the Amiga, I've heard lots of nightmare stories. Do you have to have a soldering iron? I know my mate did when he did his years ago. Thanx in advance Zeewolf |

Power Tower
A good solution would be to buy the Power Tower from Power Computing. Follow the instructions to put your motherboard in the tower.
Then get a Power Flyer (also from Power Computing). This is attached to the motherboard. You can then use cheap 3.5 inch IDE hard disks - there is plenty of space in the tower for it and it connects directly to the Flyer. It is also a fast interface and you can add IDE CD-ROM drives, CD-writers, more hard disks etc. A decent accelerator and more memory is a good idea too. Of course, this can be expensive. I used to attach a 3.5 inch IDE hard drive inside the A1200 case, but this means some cutting of the metal shield. A basic A1200 is designed to take a 2.5 inch IDE hard drive, but these are hard to find and expensive. You don't need a soldering iron! A towered up, accelerated A1200 is great. |

Cheers for games!!
If I didn't want to get a hard drive for my Amiga, would I be able to play bloodnet off CD if I bought a CD drive instead? How quick would it run?
I've been thinking of buying a CD drive for a while now, I can't really afford to buy both at the present time. Thanx Zeewolf:bounce |

Hard Disk Vs CD-ROM Drive
I would really get a hard disk before a CD-ROM drive.
A hard drive should be the root of all upgrades. |

All you need to use a 3.5 HD or CD-Rom drive is a 2.5 to 3.5 HD cable and a power splitter cable.
If you need either of these let me know I think I can locate a few still lying around at work. A better idea is a 2.5 to 3.5 inch converter board not sure if anyone is still doing these now. This allowed you to plug a standard 3.5 IDE cable onto the board and then to any device. I used to have a HD and CD connected this way. |

The cable connects to the 2.5 header on the mother board
The 3.5 end into the back of a HD. The cables I have at work are only very short though.. If anyone needs one let me know!! |
