@Anemos
I am sorry i haven't commented on this, its a Great Mod... its very subtle, perhaps even discrete, but a great little bit of hackery indeed |

Could you explain what the mod is actually doing?
Or why the LED does not light normally? What did the manufacturer do wrong? |

@Eclipse
I dont want to steal any thunder, but some some cheap CF card adapters do not report activity back up the IDE chain, this means that your Hard disk light wont flash on the Amiga. By repairing this signal the Mod allows the device to report activity to the IDE, hence flashing IDE LED on the Amiga . Although Its a descrete mod, its a good one! |
