Thanks for de insights guys!

Just to be sure regarding 2 devices on one data bus: if I only connect the IDE2CF adapter (which only has one connector instead of yours), then I don't have to worry about a master/slave jumper I suppose as there is only one device on the bus then? Or is the onboard IDE connector sharing the bus with something else in itself you mean?

And does anyone know if there's a difference between Kickstart 3.0 and 3.1 in terms of maximum card size (or partition size)?

Cheers!

Exactly as you said but in reverse (sort of).

Screw, washer, board, heatsink pads, washer, heatsink, nut.

Thanks!  I have it in just as you say.

<HOPEFULLY> Last question.  What is the point of the thin metal plate?  does that go anywhere?

Hi

Correct, at the moment i'm using the CyberGraphx software to output to my VGA monitor.
Other than that i actually have an oldschool 1084 monitor

The connection on the 1084 is not ideal, and i was hoping to avoid using it. Was actually hoping to use this for my C64.

I have looked into something like the AGA MK3 and such, and i guess what you have is similar.
Back in the day im pretty sure i did use my VGA monitor, so a simpler scan doubler was probably used. I will try to dig that out at my brothers.
Not ready to tinker too much with the trusty old A1200 yet, just glad i have got it up and running.

I appreciate the answer, thanks a bunch

Anyone else got one of these?

Looking for a bit of assistance. Unfortunately Daniel from 8bitsforever isn't able to help me so throwing this out to the community.

I am basically trying to get access to the exposed UART rx/tx pins to use with my SLIP modified ESP2866 board.

This works perfectly on my Amiberry setup but I cannot get it working on this Miss 1200 board.

Having experimented for the last few weeks on this issue I can speak with some authority.

1) Spinning rust hard drives are hot and unreliable (as are Zip Drives...well they're not hot but I swear mine could have caught fire this week as that died)
2) SD2IDE cards don't work well for 2 devices on one data bus as they default to Master and like to hog the bus. Zeb's WHDLoad image seems to bypass this to some extent but your other device will have to be slave.
3) CF2IDE Solutions are FAR the superior solution. The media is more expensive but a 8GB Industrial Grade 'Extreme' (fake SanDisk brand) seems ok for £19 on Amazon! Get a good controller with a Slave/Master jumper and you are away. I found one with both a 44pin and 40pin socket! Awsome!
