They do look nice I must say...

Good old Jens though.. He always finds a way to include a clockport (or 2).. lol

(not that that's a bad thing)

Zetr0 · 07 July 2007, 21:34

awsome stuff... its shame my lates project has eating into my miggy budget!

ahhh no if only Jens would build us a clock port expander

coze · 07 July 2007, 21:54

I think clock port should be rechristened as 'jens port'

keropi · 07 July 2007, 22:10

if I had an A1200 , I would surelly get one... I hear it has similar speed to FastATA MK3, if not better!
my FastATA MK1 was slower!

I would get one but I like the greater than 4 gig feature on the FastATA MKIII

@thinlega

using new SFS and TD64 you can use greater than 4gb under IDEfix97 let alone IDEfix Express

amigakit.com · 07 July 2007, 22:34

As Zetro has correctly stated, IDEFIX Express supports hard disks greater than 4GB.

Mick_AKA · 07 July 2007, 22:54

Oh great, more of my money heading into Amigakit's pocket

LOL! It does get like that sometimes doesn't it?

Mick_AKA · 07 July 2007, 23:45

Yes, it really does lol

amigakit.com · 07 July 2007, 23:48

Its a small market - your orders are appreciated.

keropi · 08 July 2007, 12:52

also from what I have understood, IF YOU DON'T use a 4+GB OS like 3.9, then fastATA just chops the HD in 4GB pieces, and u end up with several HD icons on ur wb... bah

In another recent thread I started, someone replied that is only optional, it does not have to split the HD. I would have tested it, but my FastATA won't fit in my standard A1200 due to bad hardware quality. I think i need to clip off some pins on its underside so it can sit flush on top of some chips on the motherboard.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - The clockport header on the new IDEFixExpress...
...is it independent of the A1200 clockport? ie you can use two clockport devices?
...if so I presume they are mapped to differing addresses - is that a problem for drivers..?

Curious, as to my options given I've just ordered one - thanks AmigaKit.

You know, this Amiga thing was MUCH cheaper when I was only using Amithlon & WinUAE.
