Any news on that new batch? "Out of stock" everywhere...

Also, will it boot a CF card with a patched Kick 1.3 now?

How do I get a second hard drive recognised?
I have a cable that accepts 2 IDE drives and have 2 IDE/CF adaptors plugged into it. I've tried changing the master/slave jumpers on the IDE/CF adaptors but I only ever get 1 drive being detected.
The cable and both CF adaptors work fine when plugged into an A1200 IDE.

Probably one of the adapters incorrectly supports the selection of Master / Slave modes.
The IDE controller in Wicher500i can handle two IDE devices without problems. The following video shows the connected HDD and CDROM.

Yesterday got my card, ordered from Sordano.
I have installed Kickstart 3.1.4 from Hyperion also, since i want to install AmigaOS.

But i cannot enter boot menu while holding left mouse button during power up or restart.
What i am doing wrong?

Card compatilble with KS 3.1.4?

I can boot to workbench or start game from gotek.

Any help?

For the WicherBootMenu to work, you must use the LoadModule program. Syntax below
C:LoadModule >NIL: DEVS:WicherBootMenu
This entry should be placed at the beginning of Startup-Sequence file.

WicherBootMenu is not a program, it is a kickstart module so you have to use it for example to create your own kickstart or to load with LoadModule.
