What are the size of the HDD(s) you have tested with?

I have ordered an IDE68k but haven't received it yet. Will try it with a CF card. What I have read on forums is that you should avoid using disks larger that 4GB because they might not be detected. I don't have personal experience with this.

What about power? A HDD draws quite a lot of current while spinning up. Could be worth to investigate. If the voltages are alright, at least you have found what the problem is not. Measure the +5 and the +12 voltage at the HDD power pins and see what you have.

I'm personally interested in this case since I was the last, or second lats to order an IDE68K from mkl. I suspect my board is on hold until this issue is solved.

Can you provide a photo of the setup? Maybefrom different angles. Always good to see what you are dealing with. And maybe of the PSU as well? I've never heard of these bigfoot ones and I'd like to know the specs.
