CF ide for Amiga1200 problem, Please help

[PG]

It has been done, no problem.
All: use a Lexar card, in my opinion thats the best card to use.
Master-Slave chain could be a problem with other cards.

[PG]

Most other cards will work fine if you have a Elbox fast ata.
If you use a IDE-fix adapter - forget about using any CF cards...
Lexar cards work fine in a master - slave setup with the A1200 built in IDE interface.

That is my hardware plus 2 more older cf cards (16mb hitachi & 256mb sandisk).
The truth is I have the idefix adapter, but not only test it with idefix adapter. I have tried to connected the "2.5 ide to cf" on amiga original 2.5 ide port (without idefix board offcourse) not works again. The led of adapter blinking when amiga boots. Blinking again when hdtoolbox scaning for devices, but don't seen the cf cards as hd. :crazy:

In HD toolbox: hit the "change drive type" button, then "Define new..." and after that "Read Configuration".
Give the drive a name and hit the "ok" button (never mind the "unit is not a dos disk" error message).
Now you should be able to partition your cf-card in hd toolbox.

In hdtoolbox didn't present the cf card as unknown or whatever. The hd toolbox find only my IBM 4.0GB hd.
If I'll hit the "change drive type" button and "define new" this action will remove all data from my HD. Anyway... now I know this project isn't works for me but I don't know why.
 :getmad:

Are you using your IDE-fix adapter..?

Try this:

1. You should have only your CF-IDE adapter (with CF card installed) connected to the IDE port.
2. Start with wb3.0 or 3.1 Install disk and start HD toolbox from the diskette.

Now HD toolbox should find your card.
Then follow the steps from my previous post.
It should work.

Ok, its strange that hd toolbox cant find your card(s).
I know that at least your 256Mb Sandisk card + 44-pin adapter should work (but not in a master-slave chain) because i have tested it myself.
Maybe it isnt compatible with all mainboard revisions if you cant get it working.

About the cd-rom and cf-card:
1.There is two options: use a Elbox splitter or Fast Ata (should work but i have not tested it myself).
DONT use a ide-fix adapter, because the software is not compatible with CF cards.

2.Use a Lexar CF card, at least i know 512Mb cards and less capacity works, those i have tested.
Set up a master-slave chain with the internal IDE interface and install for example the CD-Rom software included in OS3.5 or 3.9.
That works fine!

And it doesnt...

In hdtoolbox didn't present the cf card as unknown or whatever. The hd toolbox find only my IBM 4.0GB hd.

The CF card is not detected.

I dont know his exact configuration there, but if you use a master slave-chain with the cf as master and a cd as slave, the CD-Rom will not work with most CF cards.
