KCS Power PC in A4000

genny · 23 March 2012, 15:38

Hi! After a long search, I have found a Zorro Adapter card to use KCS Power PC in big box Amigas. Emulation works well, but I have problem to use A4000 hard disk as A4000 IDE controller don't exist in list of supported devices in his Hard Drive configuration program. Can anyone help me?

I remember having a similar problem with my A600 (maybe chosing a "wrong" controller was required).

Pretty sure it's outlined in the manual somewhere. If you don't have the manual, it might be found here: http://amiga.resource.cx/
Cannot access the site (at work, might be filtered). If it turns out to be simply down, PM me & I can get you a copy (IF I still have it).

Why so much fuss to work that old and powerless PC board when you can find with a lower fuss an GoldenGate 386 and be done with (for big box Amigas).
Even the Commodore ones that are a lot easier to get are better than KCS.

I have a A2286 with a ISA VGA card and work well, but KCS don't need any VGA or Audio card because use Amiga for graphic and sound and Nec V30 at 11MHz is a bit faster than A2286.
However in the list of controllers there isn't A4000 IDE

I have manuals but there isn't any mention to A4000.
