Hi,

I'm looking for some help to diagnose my A600 IDE issue. I have a rev 1 "A300" board with KS 37.300, I have an SD-IDE adapter which I am struggling to get to work with this A600. The SD card I'm using to test is 64Mb Panasonic. The board has just come back from being recapped by Steve at RetroPassion. I have briefly had the IDE adapter working, but only intermittently.

Using winUAE with my A600 config, I used the WB 2.05 disks to install WB on the 64Mb SD card (I preped sd card with diskpart cleaned it, then added it to winuae using IDE(auto) as the option). I setup a 9mb primary bootable partition into which I installed WB 2.05 using the WB2.05 disks. I then removed other hard disks and tested the SD card would boot in Winuae, it did.

If I put this into the A600, the red led on SD adapter is lit, but the a600 does not recognise it. If I put the adapter with SD card and same ribbon into my a1200, it boots straight away into WB 2.05

I just reflowed the IDE header pins in case of a dry joint, no change.

Not sure what to check next? Any help appreciated
