Have you got the FastATA software installed? With the relevant syntax in your startup-sequence?

Also FastATA on the A1200 are a PITA. Dependent on version and software it maybe using its split option in the preferences program.

Good call, I will check the preferences.

It's the oldest version, a MK-I EIDIE as I recall, Yes I agree, they can be a PITA, however going from it not working when I first resurrected the Amiga to now the speedup is impressive, even if it does hog the CPU.

I do have a blizzard scsi too, just a shame I've nothing to plug into it at the moment.

Yeah, MK 1 adapter software is very problematic. Have read the split option in the prefs won’t save. You have to play with use and save.

Personally would go Blizz SCSI as it has the advantages of DMA and less CPU overhead. But your choice.
