Thanks for the help guys!

Someone on the English Amiga Board linked me to this one.

Together with a noclick utility, this makes a great quick-booting noiseless system not only for chip stuff but also for writing and shit.
Oh! I would prefer SD! SD cards are cheaper and more convenient than CF cards. Are there any disadvantages to using SD rather than CF? I guess if I used SD for my PC/Amiga transfer card I would have to stick to 2GB, since Windows XP can only read the primary partition on split SD cards. I'm not sure how Windows reacts to partitioned CF cards, since I've never actually used a CF card before.
Is it possible to use an SD-IDE adapter to replace the hard drive? How does that compare to CF?
nitro2k01 wrote:1) Funny thing is that I bought one of those PCMCIA CF adapters the other day. (That exact model.) What it does is more less connect the card as an IDE device. CF is supposed to be compatible with IDE. And sadly, some of the cheaper cards are not fully compatible and will not work. (They will just freeze the computer for as long as you have the card inserted.) It's a bit of a hit and miss. (However, cards that are not compatible with that adapter are likely not compatible with the Amiga either.)
But there's one more consideration. Since the card appears as an IDE device, DMA transfers might or might not work depending on the controller on your motherboard. If they don't, you're in for some slow transfers.
Conclusion: Get a USB->CF adapter.
Found this. I think I'll be safe with SanDisk cards.
My A1200 is completely stock.
1) Will this PCMCIA adapter work in both my Amiga and my laptop running Windows XP?: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23791
2) Will this IDE adapter work in my Amiga?: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10310
3) I only buy SanDisk cards because they seem to be the most reliable brand. What speed/size card do you recommend?
I have read that 4GB with 2GB partitions is the max for an HD replacement. Is that true? Is it the same for PCMCIA?
4) I already have an internal HD in my 1200. Is replacing it with a CF card really worth it?
5) Anything else I need to buy? Anything else I need to know?
Thanks in advance! 
That's one BRK too many for me.

That's two festivals on two different continents within two weeks of each other.
Holy hell! I hadn't even heard of Blip Scandinavia, that really is amazing! I'm sad that it'll be a longer wait for the next USA show, but I'm so psyched for you guy doing this international run. It's damn impressive. GO! GO! GO!
This Blip proliferation can only lead to Mutually Assured Awesomeness.

How does it sound compared to stuff sampled directly on an Amiga?
Just wondering if you've given up on kits or further development of this after all, now that your RGBva backlight is available.
Does EL really have any significant advantage over LED?
Really cool! And that's just HTML? I need to read up on HTML 5.
My initial reaction:

I agree! I love snow! Hopefully this will not coincide with my graduation in May, and is maybe even just after graduation, meaning I won't have gone back to Miami yet. I'd skip graduation if it coincided with Blip though.

After four years of trudging through the snow, we are, after a lot of deliberation, excited to announce that Blip Festival New York's position on the calendar year is officially being moved to the late spring, from 2011 onward.
Wait, there's an 8BP mailing list? And it has stuff that's not on the website? This is probably NOT what they meant, but the way it's phrased ("from 2011 onward") makes it sound like Blip 2010 will still be in December, and Blip 2011 will be in May. I doubt that two Blips in the same city would be organized that close together. I think they meant "from 2010 onward". So... no Blip 2010? Do feel free to prove me wrong though, 8BP. 
The Clash, Tom Robinson Band, The Jam, Minutemen, Bomb the Music Industry!
Recently discovered this Faroese band called 200. Their newest album Leoland is particularly great.
When I was in Edinburgh I stumbled across a local Glaswegian band called Citizens.
I went on a 2 month trip to Europe with a pretty new camera and a 16 GB SD card, and then left it on the airplane that took me home.
In the pocket of my favorite jacket. Along with my favorite hat and scarf. And some sea glass I found on the beach in Aberdeen.

I might be interested...
By the way, what's your opinion on ripping samples from other people's MODs?
I recently acquired a 1200, but I've never done anything sample-based before, so I've got no clue about sample rates, signed vs unsigned, 8bit vs 16bit, wav vs raw, etc. Anyone got a link besides Google that can explain all of that?
I've downloaded the ST-XX disks and assume those won't need any tweaking. But if I want to start playing with samples of my own, can anyone recommend an Amiga sampler, or will any old one do?
Maybe I should just start out with AHX or Hively Tracker. But I want to try t3h s4mplezzzz!
My grandma lives in Den Haag!
Maybe you guys can hang out.
I am in London right now! Gonna be here for about a week, but the person I'm currently staying with can only let me stay for 2 nights. Any London chipsters want to let me crash at their place, or just hang out?
Thanks for the offer! I think we'll be able to stay with a relative in Paris, but if things fall through I'll let you know. But if your friends are into chip music it might be cool to just hang out with them.
