Malakie, (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here, but..) you only need to use IDEfix if you're going to run an ATAPI device on the second IDE port using an IDE splitter (a device which plugs into your single A4000 or A1200 IDE port and converts it to two IDE headers - thus allowing you to connect four IDE devices: two masters, two slaves).

If you are just planning to connect a hard drive and a CD drive to your internal IDE port without using such a splitter you do not need IDEfix - although you may need to patch scsi.device if you're using OS3.1 .
I'm sure someone knows more about this than I do.

@Brian - iirc all the fields are case sensitive - if, for example, the user name is "Nidividual Mocputing", then "nidividual mocputing" will not work.

@Moto - I'm sure I read somewhere that there is a patch which alllows scsi.device to use atapi devices, although only on the primary IDE - not the secondary.

Have never needed it though, as the first a1200 4-way I bought had a Power Computing registration letter with registratoin code.
