A4000 4-Device IDE Interface From Amiga Kit
« on: May 12, 2019, 11:31:36 AM »


A4000™ 4-Device IDE interface - new revision 3

Compatible with the Commodore Amiga 4000 Desktop or A4000T.
 
The standard Commodore Amiga 4000 is supplied with a single IDE  connector as standard allowing only two IDE devices to be connected.   This interface overcomes this factory limitation by providing two IDE  connectors. Each IDE interface allows two devices so with this adapter a  total of up to 4x IDE devices is possible.
 
Features 2x 40-pin IDE connectors (primary/secondary) and 1x 40-pin IDE  connector to link to original Amiga motherboard IDE interface.
 
The 40-way (3.5") IDE cable to connect this adapter to the Amiga  motherboard IDE connector can be optionally added below at various  lengths.
 
 To use the secondary port, third party software such as IDEFIX software package should be installed.

Hi

Thanks for the kind words.  We are working on providing low cost quality Amiga hardware and keeping market prices down to sensible levels for our hobby.

Yes it will work with a 2.5"->3.5" adapter on Amiga 1200.

Thanks a lot for your words of encouragement.

We have been the main supplier of Amiga hardware for 15 years and we have recently noticed in the last few years there are a lot of hobbyist / part time resellers emerging.  A lot of the hardware they are selling is not of commercial quality.  Of course this is fully understandable as it is assembled by "bedroom" sellers.  What concerns us is that with the lower quality standards, the hardware also has high price points.  The market prices have gone up a lot in the same period of time that hobbyist / part time sellers have starting supplying to our community.

To counteract this problem, we are producing a dozen quality Amiga hardware product lines in the next few months with low pricing.  We hope this will restore quality levels in the marketplace and reduce price inflation of Amiga products we all need for our hobby.

We recommend buffered IDE interface for Amiga 1200 when using long cables. We are working on that project now.    However with short adapter cabling this does work.

Many thanks for the order and supporting our hardware projects.

I am quite sure that the DataFlyer XDS did not have any buffering circuitary.
