IDE Expansion for the Amiga 1200

[Kinster]

Just found this at the bottom of a box.

I've just tested it and it works fine. Two end pins of the second channel are slightly bent (forgot to mention that in the listing) - though the connector fits fine so it's not a problem.

I'll supply two cables if needed (one is an extra-long home made cable). Maybe I should have mentioned that in the listing  too. A bit too much  :pint: last night  :roll:

Cheers,

Andy.

"Quite Useless" is not strictly the case, but maybe I should have mentioned that you need IDEfix to enable the second channel. However, you can operate two HDD's on the first channel without IDEfix installed.

The listing has been updated to reflect the above.

Animagic,

It's good to see someone getting their facts right. Thanks.

I didn't say you did. However, you would need to make, or buy, a custom 2.5" to 3.5"x2 IDE cable which would probably cost more than this item will go for. This board offers a simpler solution, and it's going cheap :-)
