I've had the CFIDE68K v. 402 for a while now and am finally getting around to setting it up in a rev 6A A500 motherboard.
Configuration is as follows:
A500 rev. 6A
CFIDE68K v. 4.02
MegaChip 2000
Startech IDE to CF adapter.
37.350 ROM
WB 2.1 Install disk
Problem is it doesn't recognize the 1GB IBM microdrive.
I go through HDSetup and let it partition the drive but when I'm expecting it to tell me the drive has been partitioned and reboot, there's nothing there!
I rebooted and then go to HDToolbox hoping the microdrive will be found and I get "Driver not installed".
Also tried a Sandisk 64Mb CF card and symptoms are the same with HDSetup, but when I go to HDToolbox, I get a "unrecognized" drive.
Curious thing is I tried a 350Mb 3.5" hard drive just to check out the circuitry and it partitioned and formatted with no problem.
Any suggestions?
Would a TrueIDE adapter help out here?
Thanks,
Curtis
It sounds like one of these devices would help me with my recently acquired Amiga A500 Plus. At the moment, the only information I have about this machine is that it has Kickstart 37.175. Can I buy the CFIDE68K now, and if so, then how much is it?
How did you connect that hard drive?
