IDE : where is it gone ?
« on: August 19, 2003, 07:56:02 AM »
Hi all,
my system is A1200PPC+, BVPPC, OS3.9 in a power tower.
SCSI : one IBM HD 18Go
IDE : CD-RW burner, ZIP.
Everything was working until now but recently I got a filesystem upgrade big problem on the scsi HD. Now it is solved but the amiga will not boot if something is connected to the internal IDE port. I removed the PPC card and got the same problem. How can I solve this ? Ids there a program to test the integrity of the ide ?
In case the internal IDE is dead, what would be the alternative to still use my IDE devices (scsi-to-ide, fast serial port) ?
Thans in advance
Lio

@ Cass :
no old IDE standing here anymore because I put it inside my other A1200 desktop. I dont have df0 in my tower but df1 but the machine will not even initialise if something is connected to the ide.

@ Framiga : AFAIK I use the filesystem provided on the amigaOS3.9 CD (cacheCDFS I think) for the CD and Fat95 for the zip.

No one ever bother to make a test program for the IDE port ?? (without a HD connected).

Working again : looks like it did not like if no floppy drive is connected to the machine. Now I have to check whats wrong with the burner since my CD0, although is mounted without any error, I can not access the datas on CDs. Strange because I can mount the drive with the tool mounter, and also in makeCD and idefix tool findCD but no icon appear (and I did not hide it in the prefs).
Thanks anyway for the help.

PS : dont know which filesystem I used before, I have a few in my L:
