I tried it a while back and it was dog slow but consider that my X-Surf was stuck in a Z2 bus board so I think that's to blame too for its very low performance.

We must consider that it is a software  emulated IDE port.


I didn't knew that, sounds cool :)

A good bonus, like emergency host port . . . for free :-)


I used it for that purpose since I have SCSI drives/cdrw, it is easier to access than the internal IDE controller. The A1200 internal connector still needs that horrible adapter cable and it is deeply burried under my Z2 daughterboard :)
