Man. This whole thread makes me really, really glad I have Mechware SCSI card readers in my Amiga's. Don't think I'd want to mess with IDE in an Amiga ever again, if I can avoid it! :angry:
@oldmobile
On good working machines 1200, 4000D 4000T...Actually, I've installed several of the AmigaKit CF adapter and CF cards in both 4000 desktops and My 4000T with 1,2,3 ease.
unplug the machine, Add the cf adapter, add the card.
Turn on the machine...AmigaKits software runs on boot-up. Install the OS of choice.
The problem was that this 4000T ide is broken.
BTW, I wish I had mechware scsi reader...(sad)
