well what the heck.. wonder if we can get a list of drives that does work!Out of 6 drives only one works and its a old 1 gig. I have a few sata drives to test once my ide to sata adapter comes in.. DANG!!!!! Anyone try putting the DOM on the first port and see if the thing boots?
Didn't someone mention that card had to be flashed with newer firmware right out of the chute (hmmm, can't remember now). Also, I think the DOM must be on the first port. Plus, did you try the iComp-installer, which complements the software package that comes with the 20-year anniversary edition of the Buddha controller?
This card doesn't need IDEFix97 does it? The drivers have been programmed by Oliver Kastl, who has set highest standards with the "ALF" drivers and the IDE-fix (later "IDE-max") software. The software includes the whole IDE-package from Elaborate Bytes: Cache CD Filesystem, Harddisk Autopark, CD-changer tool, CD-32 emulator (only for AGA-chipset).
Also, Caution: UDMA cables cannot be used with this controller.
And, Industrial-CF cards (with Adapter, not included) can be used. WTH kind of adapter would that be to go from 40pin to CF? Where would you even get this adapter (supposedly from AmigaKit).
And don't even think about using the TruIDE adapter - NO WAY will that fit on those 40pin connectors. WTH did he put 40pin connectors on this new card? Same connectors that are on that Zorro4IDE card.
So, I have never got any CF card to work on my Pheonix edition Buddha other than a 2GB. The only way I have so far been able to detect my Pheonix card using either HDToolBox or HDInstTools is to hang it off a Zorro2 adapter from my A500 LOL! Anyhoo, that's neither hear not there. But yeah, not good for a new product.
