Amiga A1060 Sidecar and XT-IDE/CF Card
« on: March 19, 2025, 11:07:11 PM »
Hi all, looking for some advice if possible.
I have an old A1060 Sidecar which I have now gotten up and running on my A1000.

Boots fine off the built-in 5.25" floppy, and I have an A1010 drive also connected as drive B:

I would like to add a "hard drive" solution, namely in the form of an XT-IDE card, which then has an IDE-CF adaptor attached to it, allowing me to use a CF card as the hard drive.
I purchased the Blue Lava XT-CF solution from Ebay (see this link: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126653191682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=IsFl_enpTP2&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=EKdQA03uRH2&var=427696887388&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY ), but the system simply wont boot from the "C:" drive.

Any advice on this?

Is it simply not compatible?

Any help appreciated!
