Talk:Amiga 600

message: A600 article says:
"Due to bugs in Kickstart 37.300, the maximum supported size of a hard drive was limited to 40 MB"
I have an A600 with Kickstart 37.300 with a harddisk of 512 Mb running perfectly.
: The article describes it as a 'game of chance', but I know a few people (myself included) who have ran >40MB disks under 37.300 but never any reports to the contrary. I've put a Citation Needed tag next to the claim. If it is true (and we've all got lucky) it'd be nice to have a reference to refer to. AndyLandy (talk) 11:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  So, would it be worth me getting a 2.5" cable off eBay and seeing if I can hook up the old 810MB laptop hard disk I have lying around? It's not like the disk is worth anything to anyone, but I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of getting the cable if it wasn't going to work... 193.63.174.211 (talk) 12:48, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have early A600 model (description on mainboard says A300), it's equipped with 37.300 Kickstart and I used it with 200 and 4000MB hard drives without any problems. I never met anyone (in person or on Internet forums) who had problems with hard drives over 40MB on 37.300 so I think it's just a myth.46.171.235.221 (talk) 16:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: It was considered relatively unexpandable when compared to the A500. It's not that it couldn't be expanded at all. The text seemed reasonably clear on that point to me? 193.63.174.211 (talk) 09:52, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction

message: It's missing information of who did the product design of A600 and A1200 - it's much more in the product design level of Ettore Sottsass (Olivetti), Hartmut Esslinger (Apple at 80's) and Rick Dickinson (his late work at Sinclair, with the models 128 and QL)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitrofurano (talk • contribs) 15:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  product design author 

message: OK, now the article as it stands makes some play of how the 600 retains compatibility with previous peripherals because it happens to retain the serial, parallel and floppy ports (big whoop, it'd be shocking if it hadn't ;) ... but, does that also include bus-attached devices like the external A590 hard drive and similar? Or was that removed? I can't find any information either way online thus far.
(Personally, I'm seeing some of these going for sale on eBay quite cheaply and am wondering if it might be a viable upgrade option vs replacing the kickstart ROMs and finding an adaptor cable for an internal IDE drive - especially as they also tend to include ready-installed RAM upgrades in the same box... but if it can't actually connect to the machine, then it's a bit pointless! And if anywhere is going to mention this retained or lost capability, it might as well be WP...) 193.63.174.211 (talk) 09:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
