Oh poo!!! This is the second adaptor as the first one arrived broken - that'll teach me to pay more for a quick delivery. Will PM you my address so you can send it back and I will return it as faulty. I will attempt to source from a different place.
Good news that the SSD works though so not confined to Scandisk. For those that are interested: http://www.innodisk.com/Product/Prod...ZXl3b3JkPTE%3d Also, other good news is my beloved 1200 is winging it's way to have it's caps replaced so fingers crossed there is nothing else wrong with it! |
Did you plug them the wrong way around?
As 44pin ide includes power this can fry them.. |
I've now got everything I need for this other than the IDE to USB. I do have a question, I plugged it all in (mSATA to 44pin 5volt adapter, 16GB mSATA, 44pin IDE cable) in my A600, double checking, and then double checking again, that I had the cable correctly plugged in (pin 1), and then turned on the A600, holding down both mouse buttons for the early startup menu. Now, I didn't see anything new, only CC0 and DF0, and I'd just like to double check if that is correct, considering I have not been able to create any partitions, let alone format as of yet?
Kickstart ROM is 37.350, so it doesn't have the more advanced diagnostics of the v39 onwards Kickstarts. I didn't see or smell any smoke, so that's a good sign, I think, hahaha |
@TroyWilkins
Unfortunately without being prepared the SSD won't have any RDB - because of this it cannot be seen in the early boot menu. It could be worth giving HD-Install Tools a go to see if it can see it - although it will be tricky to partition and format for PFS3 without a PC =) |

I don't have any 3.5" Amiga formatted double density disk with any HD install tools on it, closest I have is a cut-down Workbench 2.1 disk with just the sound preferences and an anti-virus program on it. So I'll just have to wait for the USB adapter to arrive... *curses the slow postal service here* |
@Zetr0
You have a pm. |

@Zetro
Thank you so much for this my good man! :great My IDE to USB adapter arrived today, and just now, my A600 booted for the very first time from something other than a 3.5" floppy disk! I'm currently now copying across things from my PCs hard disk to the SSD (yes, my A600 has a faster hard disk drive than my PC, even if the A600 won't take full advantage of the possible speed hahaha) and then I'll give it a proper test by loading some apps and games, not just workbench. But even on a stock A600 (other than the 604n RAM expansion) this solution seems to work at a speed faster than I was expecting. But once again, thank you my good man, very much appreciated! |

Has anyone tried IDEFix to see if it fixes the lockup problem?

I think dopus runs out of memory.
Try copying with cli/shell (copy source destination all clone quiet) or add lots of memory when using dopus. |

I am very excited to see what others can do with it and what projects others will make as well - its very humbling indeed! =D @Thread Quote:

I have a FAST ATA Mk3 to try out at some on the A1200 - this could be interesting - I have the afternoon - its a misery of weather outside - could be a good time to put an Amiga together ;) |
Ok, I tried using the shell, and didn't experience any lockup, athough even with 2MB Chip and 16MB FAST setup (as well as a 68020 with JIT set to unlimited speed) in WinUAE for the emulation, it still used all that RAM up, so much so that I couldn't even open another window while the copy was in progress. But it copied everything without issue, so it would seem the problem was DOpus running out of memory and not an issue with the hardware itself. Thanks for the idea!

@Zetr0 Hi mate - have you got round to posting the disk back? My new adaptor has arrived and my 1200 has come back all shiny and new from Bebek so keen to set up the ssd. |
@Setting up the SSD
I would humbly suggest either using a WinUAE install of ClassicWorkbench 3.9 (BB1 & 2), or Classic Workbench 3.5. From that create the partitions under PFS3-AIO - have a look at the Fitzsteve Youtube link I posted earlier. Interestingly I have yet to test this under SFS - SFS can offer a 20% speed increase over the older PFS3, however requires a minimum 68020 CPU - I am now quiet curious to see how the Vampire V2 will do with that format. @Havie Sorry my friend, while I packed this up to post before I left the house for work on Monday - sadly it was only after reading your name come up in my message notification when I got home yesterday evening that I realized I had completely forgot. I will have this in the post first thing tomorrow my friend - I will even treat it to first class postage - sorry about that. |
No problem - mate, we all live busy lives!

Hi thanks for your reply. If you end up doing this, please could you let us know how to do this. Is it possible to fix this on the led cable or on the led board on the amiga? Regards |
