Wicher 500i rev 2a IDE problem

Just bought a Wicher 500i rev 2a and I have the following problem, when i boot the A500 the wicher starts and the memory is allocated but the IDE is not working

After checking with the FORMAT command a CC0: unit of 20k in size appears, it appears if i connect and IDE or not. (i connect a IDE2SD with a 4Gb SD card)

There is no MOUNTLIST in devs so that CC0: must comes from somewhere... i continue checking and the CC0: unit is gone only if i set IDE OFF, but i need the IDE ON to make my disk work

Any help ?

I think the 20K CC0: is a buffer for the SD in the SPI conector (just a thinking) but no reason to dissapear if i set IDE=OFF

I almost format the CC0: but not until i get some answers

CC0 have nothing to do with Wicher. Its the rom based driver for PCMCIA cards.

Thanks for your answer Amigoun but still present in WICHER, then the IDE in WICHER could be like a PCMCIA in A600/1200 ???

No.

"Amiga A600-compatible IDE controller,", that's what you have on your Wicher.

does the 2a rev of the wicher still need to tap INT2 and OVR? i have the first revision and you have to tap those 2 signals on your mainboard for the IDE to work.

Good question. At least it's not needed for 2b and 2c.

Edit: or do you mean the two cables? They are of course still needed. I thought you meant soldering on the A500 motherboard.
