Title: Do you use FastATA MKIII on A1200 w/OS4? Quick question!
Post by: Dragster on August 16, 2009, 06:04:45 PM

Hi there...
 
So, I'm having some issues with my IDE HDs in my Amiga 1200... I'm using the latest ata3.driver for the FastATA MK III controller.. it's suposed to be supported on OS4 (i.e. it works under os4...), however after I boot the machine under OS4 and running the driver, I still get the same version # of the scsi.device of OS4 kernel... instead of version 60.xx... so I'm not sure it's really working..
 
If you do the same, what do you get?
 
Cheers,

I am using the ZVI fast ata controller in my 1200 and no exter driver is needed for OS4.

If you need to use IDEFix etc with yours whan using OS3.x than there is a exter module that needs adding to the kicklayout "MODLE Kickstart/A1200/ATAPIismajik" Remove the leading semicolon. It is about harf way down just befor the Picasso96 bits

Just ckecked http://www.acube-systems.biz/compatibility and FastATA 1200 MK-III needs AllowBbasePageAcess enabled, see page19 of OS4 Quickstart Guide for more.

Hope this helps Steve
