To bad their ATA boards totally suck. Such a pain in the ass to get working. I was trouble shooting mine with Amigakit and my sockets eventually broke. Another thing I'm sending my 1200 up to Michigan to have repaired, so yes, thank you to both AmigaKit for not having a place for American consumers to send their stuff in for repairs and upgrades, and thanks for Elbox for making an expansion that is such a pain in the butt to install.

@ XDelusion

FastATA, Mediator all pretty sturdy and took time to get installed but damn great fit when it's done. Sorry to hear you had issues & for your A1200 I'm sure amigakit will get it sorted out for you & their shipping costs aren't that insane (at least here in Canada they are comparable to me getting parcels from the other side of the country, sometimes cheaper actually)

I've had no issues with my FastATA apart from fitting it with a mediator and indimk2. Wish they would release a slightly higher riser kit for the mediator :)

The FastATA made a huge difference in HDD speed. Only issues I have is getting no response from Elbox, be it registration or asking about drivers.

This Mediator Riser KIT (http://eu-shop.elbox.com/en_US/p/Mediator-1200-Riser-KIT/57) is not high enough for your need?

Indeed, they should include a riser. I'm about to send my 1200 up to Michigan to have a guy custom fit slanted Kickstart sockets to replace the ones that were damaged during my trouble shooting process.

As for their less than friendly or responsive tech support... ya I'm not to keen on that either.

And why should it be Elbox's or AmigaKit's fault, if you rough-mover destroy your Kickstart sockets?
