got one of these too, they are awesome

Charlie · 14 September 2008, 16:11

The FastATA I've got won't fit in my desktop A1200 now I've got an Indivsion - with socket-risers it will plug in but can't get it back together...
...TBH: I'm not sad to see the back of it - it's given me nothing but headaches since I got it...
...I'll put the FastATA in my other A1200 for the mo'.

I'm looking forward to having a Fast IDE card that's better behaved...

amigakit, is it possible to use the new idefix adapter right next to the new indivision flickerfixer? how does it work...

alexh · 19 September 2008, 13:02

Yes, they were both designed by the same company.

amigakit.com · 19 September 2008, 13:17

Alex is correct - they work with each other and other products such as Lyra

@AmigaKit
Any new production run of these babies coming in the future? They seem to be out of stock everywhere!

amigakit.com · 08 May 2010, 15:16

We have just made a new production run of 4-way IDE for A4000 and we don't have any plans to fund a new production run of A1200 IDE hardware in the future.

The main reason is that SATA is so prominent now, so any new boards will have to be SATA.

Bamiga2002 · 08 May 2010, 16:25

Ok thanks for letting me know. I'll try hunting it elsewhere

Just a quick question, does this new batch come with newer drivers that support compact flash?

I purchased IDEFix-Express from you last year, but I have to use the patches and drivers from aminet to get them to work with CF. Unfortunately they keep popping up that it's no longer registered.

Lost me with this post.

I had a few CF cards running fine with my IDEFIX EXpress board.
Have you tried the unofficial IDEFIX patch, although it may not work on jens IDEFIX version thats shipped with IDEFIX Express.

Yes you can get this to work

Interesting, so this allows the use of FOUR devices on the 4000 IDE ?, 2 on devices on EACH IDE chain from the PCB ?

Reason I asked, is that I am migrating my CF cards over to SCSI (SCSI to IDE bridge), and of course, the IDE is doing the waiting game.

As is expected, IDE CDROM does not stop the 4000 from doing the wait game, what option is there to keep IDE CDROM on the 4000 IDE, and not have to terminate the 4000 IDE to stop the boot delay ?

huh?

IDEFIX Express (besides, you cant get them anymore) wont work on a 4000. You need to use the standard 4x buffered interface and standard IDEFix97.

You could use a scsi cdrom and then terminate the IDE completely, solves all the prolems. If you have a deneb, you can use the NoIDE module.

Wouldnt it be cheaper for all if you did another run of the existing hardware? Then folks could use cheap PATA to SATA adapters if they so wished.

I've just bought the last one at GSS data in Sweden, but I was in contact with Isa at ASB and they had just got some more in stock as I bought from GSS. Heres the link: -

amigakit.com · 12 May 2010, 22:47

How did they get more stock if they production run is sold out?

The picture on the link provided is the first edition which was discontinued a few years ago - the newer boards are green.

Bamiga2002 · 13 May 2010, 14:34

But it says on the product page: "New Revision 2 Adapter Board"

So i assume it's the newer revision.
