Items that would be nice,

SATA for my A1200T.
Warp3D drivers for my ATI 9200 so I can ditch my Voodoo 5, and stop using the 9200 as just a RAM card.
A fix for switching between AGA and RTG mode, some games through WHDLoad refuse to work.

That's about it :)

Can't you just use a Pata to Sata adaptor? And what speed advantage would you get over a fast CF Card and IDE adaptor?


Tried one of those and the FastATA didn't like it, and now no longer works :-(  I have a buffered IDE adapter might try it again on that.

The reason for trying is that IDE is becoming rare and SATA HDDs and DVDs can source really easily and readily through work.

CF Cards are limiting too, why have a 8/16/32GB card when I can have a 250GB HDD plus a DVD writer?

You'll never fill that 250GB? Sure I have just about filled it with downloading various items off the internet and 3000+ WHDLoad games etc ;-)

Its not about the speed but about future proofing the A1200 :-)

Nevermind, I just googled and found a note that PFS can do up to 2TB.  I guess you'll all be secure to download the entire Aminet onto your hard drives, as soon as an appropriate interface for said drives becomes available!  :lol:


IDEfix97 lets me have up to 128GB regardless of file system, but I do have it partitioned into two.

Pretty fast, but looking at replacing my broken FastATA boost the speed up again.  :-/
