Shadowfire - awesome work!

would this work (and autoboot) in a stock standard Workbench 1.3 A500?

EDIT: ahh I missed the post on the 11th of August above:

"The IDE controller has been tested (and works) in an A500, a B2000, and a CDTV.
The bootup guru problems I was having were indeed caused by the 1.3FFS. Updating to the 3.1FFS allowed the partitions to validate properly (but afterward the first successful boot, you will want to revert to the 2.1/2.0 FFS if you are still running Kickstart 1.3, as the 3.1FFS shows an extra icon on 1.3 Workbench as "DOS1")."

so it appears it does, wow!
