IDE-Fix Express software installation?
« on: November 10, 2005, 03:22:38 PM »
I've just installed IDE-Fix + Express add-on to my A1200T system and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how do you get the "Express" mode running? I've jumpered the express adapter itself to allow for fast transfers on both IDE channels, however what exactly do I need to use (software wise) in order to turn on faster speed?

I didn't want to use the installation script from the IDE-Fix floppy as it overwrites some current files in your SYS: directory (such as SetPatch for example) with older versions, so all I've done at this point was copy the IDEFix to C: and that's it.

My hard drive and CD drive are both recognized fine by OS3.9 (master and slave on the primary channel), and the only thing left to do now is to enable the faster, express speed.

How do I do that? :-)


Thanks.

BTW, does your tower HD activity led always stay lit when using IDE-Fix Express?

For some reason, mine is always lit from the moment I turn on power (red colour, Elbox Power Tower 1200). :-?
