I've already ordered two of them.

Out of interest does anyone know why this is?

Caution: UDMA cables cannot be used with this controller.

I thought UDMA cables were backwards compatible?

rave · 04 January 2018, 16:37

I think its to do with connected/not connected and grounding?

ordered min & my A4000 can't wait

I'm assuming we can install a larger size DOM in the Buddha once it's all set up ??

idrougge · 31 January 2018, 10:27

Yes we can.

wmsteele · 31 January 2018, 16:58

Had an email Monday that my preorder had been dispatched... so they are out in the wild a bit early

Good news. They are significantly cheaper than the IDE4 Zorro II which is about 100 Euro.

The no-UDMA cable is most likely due to them using 40 pin connectors instead of the keyed 39/40 pin connectors required to use a UDMA cable.

We will have our stock imminently at Amiga Kit

Prosonic · 19 February 2018, 16:30

wish they worked :/

MrX_Cuci · 19 February 2018, 22:13

Probably a stupid question, but why would you use this instead of a compact flash card?

Amiga 2000 and 3000 have no IDE and so can't use CF without a Buddha or similar

The question should be why would you use this instead of the latest SCSI2SD?

Because A2000 doesn't come with SCSI?

why pick one or the other

I've got a scsi2sd board on my CS-MKIII but I can't boot WB off it so need to use the onboard IDE on my A4k which is blah so that's why I got the Buddha

idrougge · 21 February 2018, 02:17

The Buddha isn't faster than the onboard IDE.
