Fast ATA/EIDE-2 problems
I'm trying to set up a fast-ata controller on my a1200, but got some problems doing so.
I installed the fast ata controller and ran the install ata3 to install the software needed on my harddrive. It detects my drive (4GB cf) just fine, but when i try to reboot the machine afterworth it wont boot. My setup is: a1200 (1d4) apollo 1260/50 with 32 mb fast-ata/EIDE 2 controller from elbox. 4 GB cf card. (also tried with 8 Gb microdrive. Does anyone have any experience with the fast-ata controller? |

try with a slower setting I had the same problem with my 2gb CF. I think you get 1-5 and it defaults at 5 which is too fast.

If not already done you have to save the settings with ATA3Prefs else it won`t work. Maybe you need to set SetPatch to skip scsi.device update.

another question
Should an a500 psu be enough to run an a1200 with apollo 1260 (with fan), fast ata and microdrive? The fast ata controller gets really warm. and system seems unstable |

my fast ata also gets pretty warm but I have a mediator on top of it! for your setup I would really suggest an atx psu. Also is this all in a desktop? If so I bet its getting very warm indeed. My setup is towered.
On my desktop a1200 I use an amigakit atx psu and it works very well. Steve. |

SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES=scsi.device I`m not sure if this is the correct syntax. For OS3.1 there is no need for this. 3.5/9 introduced scsi.device patch. |

What is with people putting heatsinks on CPLD's and other chips that don't even get hot.
Stupid. |

No they don't. They might get warm, but they certainly don't get hot enough to require a heatsink (or even benefit from one).

Strange.. The Mach chip on my Apollo 1260 is nowhere near too hot to touch.
The 060 on the other hand, heh.. |

I did add a heatsink and a small fan to the cpu, since it starts crashing after about 1-2 hours up time. haven't had time to test it after doing the modifications. I'm not having it in a tower case, so not much circulation around the cpu without fan. |
