FastATA 1200 MK-IV IDE CF/SATA and Apollor RAM

[XDelusion]

So I would REALLY REALLY like to order a FastATA 1200 MK-IV IDE CF/SATA.

Though I hear that your memory type can prevent the FastATA from working right.

 Well currently my 80Mhz 060 Apollo board only has 32Mb, I lost my 64Mb stick.

 So I would like to order a 64Mb stick that would fit in the 1200 case, with the trap door off if I have to, I just don't want to tower it.

 That being said, can someone point me to a good affordable stick that will not cause issues with the FastATA? Thankx in advance!

Gotta do it. Bump.

Hiya,

I've never heard of this conflict, try asking over on EAB.

There are a couple of things you need to know about the FastATA, first of all it's a bit of a bitch to install, secondly you cannot use SATA for your boot drive, thirdly it's really difficult to install them with an Indivision AGA.

I brought one myself and it's still sitting in the box

An IdeFixExpress is a much easier solution but they are hard to find.    

The Apollo's IDE transfer rate isn't too bad anyway, with a RemApollo + patched scsi.device + SpeedyIDE + PFS3 you should get a reasonable speed without any new hardware.

BTW the Apollo can only take 32MB per slot.
