Amiga 1200 (1D1) Harddrive Light Problem

Guys,

I have a strange problem with my Amiga Harddrive light,
It comes on (flickers), half bright, when clearly not accessing the drive (even just scrolling directories in WB)
I'm using an el cheapo CF adapter, so wonder if this is causing the problems?

Some motherboards have issues with some adapters. It may need modding.

Hi Fol,

Will the mobo, or the adapter need modding?

I have found this to happen with 4gb cards. I have both a 2gb and 4gb kingston and only the 4gb makes the HD light stay on.
