Hi: as the subject says, i have been experimenting a little bit with my 1200 and some old cd-rom players i have
I dont know why, but it seemd that certainly brands refuses to work with the Amiga ide port, am i correct?
In my examples, i tried to use a 2.5 Quantum HDD with a 24X Cyberdrive. Hooked together, machine wont start. If i just use the HDD , machine runs smoothly.
Then i tried the same cd-rom with at least 4 other of my hard disks, it didnt work with none of them (2 2.3GB WD, 1 2.2GB Maxtor and 1 Seagate 1GB)
I then tried a 4.3GB Samsung hooked together with the CD Rom. Machine works perfectly
Finally i tried all above hard disks but the 4.3 Samsung with 12X BTC cd rom , 52X Samsung CD rom and 52X Asus CD Rom.
They all worked with the HDD. I double checked jumper settings, so i have to say that Cyberdrive is VERY difficult to make it work with an HDD attached
Same happened with every CREATIVE CD ROM i tested (3 of them)
Does anybody experienced the same?
Which, in your opinion is the best IDE CD Rom drive to hook on a 1200???
Cheers
Sebastian
