Dear all:
Recent I buy a Ram Board called "Battdisk" of dbk software but i tried to find the drivers to make work every where on the internet hard but no luck.
Please Some one can have the DMS or ADF even a lhz or zip image file can upload some where to help me please.
Also I buy a Breitfeld AccessX IDE Board I have a .DMS supposedly is the drivers but No IDEA how to install and boot from this IDE card because I only can boot now from floppy.
The system I try to install both cards is an A2000 2.0 Rom and floppy
Please help(http://eab.abime.net/images/smilies/crying.gif)
Thanks and best regards.

Are you looking for some informations about this card? http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/accessx2000

Looking at the descriptions, you may have trouble if the BattDisk is fully populated with 8 megs of ram since the 2000 only has 8MB of space to configure everything in.
I doubt that one needs drivers and it's probably rare to have all 8MB installed on it.
I wouldn't tinker with the jumpers much, assume they are correct for the last time it was used.
This page has a list of jumper settings: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=747
You might make sure it is jumpered for autoboot since you have a newer kickstart.
If it doesn't show up as a drive on the Workbench, you'll have to find out the device name using scout or sysinfo or something and then try using HDToolBox to set it up like a hard drive.
Pretty much the same for the IDE card, see if the disk has a device name, then use HDToolbox to partition it.
I would try just one at a time, sometimes bad cards can make other cards not show up correctly.
Good luck.

Battdisk is not memory mapped and so does not suffer from this.
It's an NVRAM hard drive. Plus it has a maximum RAM of 2Mbytes. It's pretty useless.
The AccessX board is also pretty useless if the ROM is v626 or above :(
-
Thanks for the help.
So I'm wasting time with these 2 useless cards?
I thought about installing a hard drive in the AccessX to boot from there but my ROM is 2.1 (37 299) then it is not valid and I can not use it?.
And with the Batt memory the same?
Thanks and best regards.

You're looking at the Amiga's Kickstart ROM version, not the ROM version on the AccessX.

I´confused now,
1 . I quit all the cards, and let the accessX Ide plug into Zorro Slot.
2 . Booting from install disk of workbench 3.1
3 . run HdToolbox and nothing recognized.
What i can do?
Sorry for my english.
Best regars to the comunity.

Did you try the AccessX installation floppy disk?
http://amiga.resource.cx/install/AccessX-20.dms
It says in the readme on the AccessX installation disk :
2nd Should you be in possession of HDToolBox you need to start it the following shell command: "Hdtoolbox harddisk1.device"
A guy posted some pictures of a working AccessX 2000 over on Amibay last month.

It's not for fast or chip memory. It's a battery backed ram disk.

Zactly! The thing is an early version of a Solid State Hard Drive.
