Re: harddrive for 1000?

Hi,

I have an AT-Bus harddisk with 40MB for my A1000. It is an external drive. The controller is attached to the expansion port and the harddisk and the according power supply is placed in a case of ca. 33 x 33 x 6 cm. Just the dimension to be used as monitor stand for an A1081 or A1084.
The controller is autobootable, so I just have to switch on the A1000 and the harddisk and insert an Kickstart 1.3. The Workbench boots direct from the HD.
Unfortunately the firmware and driver for the controller is called BOIL3 and I'm not able to attach a second or a larger drive to the controller even if the case is large enough for a second drive :-( The drive won't be noticed by the controller/driver.
