How I replaced the rusty old harddisk in my Amiga 1200 with a new Compact Flash card in an adapter. I prepared and partitioned it and installed Workbench 3.1 on it via WinUAE and a card reader.
I basically followed the tutorial here (with some slight changes): https://brotkasten.blog
This is the CF to 44pin IDE adapter I used (there are many similar ones that do also work): https://www.reichelt.de/Kartenleser-und-Adapter/DELOCK-91655/3/index.html?ACTION=3&GROUPID=7049&ARTICLE=120193
The Amiga emulator I used is WinUAE: http://www.winuae.net
You can get the Kickstart ROMs and Amiga Workbench here: https://www.amigaforever.com
If you get error messages when trying to write to the drive, try starting WinUAE with the parameter -disableharddrivesecuritycheck.

Another way to support me (without having to spend any more money than you normally would) is to use my Amazon affiliate links.
If you buy stuff on Amazon, you can use the below links to get to your country’s Amazon site and I will get a small share of what you pay there. You can buy whatever you like and use this link as your regular Amazon link if you want to. The price and everything else stays the same for you. I consider this an okay (and easy) way to give me some support.
