Ahhhhhh!
My HD cable arrived from Amigakit in cardiff, plugged in and the HD just did a vrrrp vrrrp vrrrrp.... pause... vrrp vrrp vrrp... pause as it tried to start-up. I took it out, held it in my hand and spun it along its rotation plane and smacked it into my other hand a few times, then reconnected it, and it booted fine!
OK, fine apart from a whole lot of stuff that doesn't have the RAM to run or doesn't work on a 68000 (the drive came from a 68030 A1200), it looks like all my filesystems are available, even the ones formatted in whatever non-Amiga-FFS I used at the time. Hurrah!
Now... off it goes again, and I look for sane ways to transfer everything from it. Null modem cable, a beige mac, and terminal apps would be the easiest I suspect.
What a wait - 10 years!
