Eide99 issue

[Lurch]

Anyone? I could really use some help.

I don't post here anymore but I know how it feels looking for support for Amiga stuff. I have the same hardware and also had various problems with it.

I recommend removing the software it comes with and install:

http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/IDEfix97

Then put the command below near or at the top of the startup-sequence:

C:IDEFix

Will PM you with other needed info :-)

IDEfix works, but I still cannot use the 2nd port on de buffered ice device.

thnx btw Lurch.

Interesting that because all working fine here with my DVD writer on the 2nd channel. Does the idefix prefs show the 2nd drive?

During the install it should give you the devices to select for the DVD/CD drive. Select the scsi.device. Then it should show the DVD/CD drive on the right hand side, select it.

On the next step should select the device (usuaully CD2) which is the mountlist which will mount the DVD/CD drive.

The CD2 device can be found in DEVS : Dosdrivers once it's installed.

Silly question time have to cheeked the jumpers on your drives are set correctly?

With one drive set as master and the other set as slave on each cable/connector as modern sata drives dont need jumpers set this is something worth double checking for an Amiga IDE setup.

Also the Eide doesn't work too well with cable select.
