Maybe best to leave it now but would be interesting to know if the previous set had a faulty cable or adaptor that stopped it from working .

Hi all,
lately I've been giving some love to my A1200 setup, which remained neglected for way too long time. One of the things I tried to do was increasing the CF raw transfer rate: the performance did improve, but I wonder if it could be even better. I've searched these forums (especially this thread), but maybe I missed something. So, it goes like this... System specs: A1200 + Blizzard 1230-IV with 60 ns RAM + CF adapter and 4GB CF card bought from AmigaKit + (carefully updated/patched) AmigaOS 3.9. I don't know the brand of the CF card as it's covered by the AmigaKit sticker, but, if that's relevant, I can remove the sticker. SysInfo test results (scsi.device version, IDEfix 199.19 on/off -> rate in B/s): * 40.12, off -> 1927529 * 40.12, on -> 1996020 * 45.35, off -> 956729 * 45.35, on -> 1996020 * 46.0/1, off -> 1641820 * 46.0/1, on -> 1990967 So, the best combination is scsi.device 40.12 or 45.35 + IDEfix, which gives 1996020 B/s (about 1.904 MB/s). Is there anything else that can improve the performance? |

4GB two partitions FFS (SFS?) and FAT32
I installed 4GB CF card above pcmcia port so it's easy to remove.
I want to create 2GB partition for amigaOS and 2GB fat32 to exchange files with linux/windows. Where do I start? https://i.imgur.com/IKgGBhz.jpg |

Ive got an amigakit rear port cf reader with 15cm cable. In the middle I got a hdd set to slave or device 1 & the cf reader set to master.
Im having some problems, so, if i buy a buffered ide from amigakit can i use this cf reader/hdd/cable combo and will it be stable? Also Should i set the hdd to cable select? |

Im trying to install 3.1.4 onto a cf card. Its in the rear port at the end of a 50cm cable with a buffered ide connection.
When i start HDTOOLS it tells me its detected a drive and its changed something. When i click save changes I get Error -3 on write! What does this mean? Ive got 2 cards, one is 4gb, the other is 8gb. Ive tried a different, known good cf card from a different 1200. This card doesnt get detected at boot like the other 2 cards. But it works perfectly in the other 1200. |
