Hi TheMagicM,

Let me know how this works out for you.  I am thinking about installing one of these in my Amiga 500 Tower.  Also try hooking up a CD ROM drive and see how well it works.  I have the CD File System software for Workbench 1.3.  Let me know if you need it and I can email you the disk in a DMS file.   :-D

Hi TjLaZer,

Did you install the LED from the AdIDE2 to the floppy LED as per the manuals? I am thinking about doing this on mine.

I do not recommend that.  I would use the power LED instead as the hard disk LED.  The disk drive LED lets you know if the disk is still spinning or is being accessed so that you do not eject the disk.  It is dangerous to run a disk drive without an LED.  I did this for a while on one of my Amiga 2000 computers and damaged several disks because I ejected them while they were still spinning.   :roll:

Hi Effy,

Why don´t you just step over to a kickstart 3.1 chip

Because then he would not be able to run many of the vintage Amiga games.  Not every Amiga computer has to have Kickstart 3.1.  It really depends on what you want to do with the machine.   :-)
