Cant get IDE CF to work on A1200

[videofx]

I connect a 44 to 40 pin adapter to the 1200 motherboard and connect an IDE CF adapter and the 1200 boots but the mouse cursor wont move. The mouse buttons work but not the cursor.

I tried a different IDE to CF adapter and the 1200 wont boot.

Any ideas how to get hard drive working?

Thanks

yup, mouse and everything works perfect when I disconnect the CF/IDe adapter. And yes I have power connected to CF IDE adapter.

Is the 1200 fussy with CF adapters and cables?

WB is 3.1, KS is 3.0 and I took the CF to IDE adapter and card from my working Amiga 4000 which has WB 3.1 installed

Yup, booting from WB 3.1 disk samething, mouse wont move. change to a different brand of CF/IDE (no CF cards installed) wont even boot.  So I am guessing my cables could be wrong or the CF/IDE adapter is not compatible.

Tried a 1.2GB IDE drive and same results

I am getting a BLizzard 1260 and will try scsi while I order parts from Amigakit

Thanks
