Have you thought about putting all that stuff on the USB? Since most IDE controlers I know of can only support 4 devices and you want to use 5 :-)

(Sorry I know nothing about the IDE controlers you mention)

one thing i do rather like about the PC is the way to edit the BIOS. would be nice to be able to do that with my amiga:
1st bootable drive = smart card reader
2nd bootable drive = external floppy
3rd bootable drive = DH0

hmmm my insaine reason behind this? well so i can stick my amiga games on a to a CF card and boot up the game from the smart card reader :-) and if i cant stick it on a CF i use the original disk in the external floppy drive :-D it makes kinda sense.... at 1am on sunday


All bootable devices on the Amiga (and AROS ;-) ) can be given a Boot Priority :-)

That is to say, set your CF's boot priority to somthing like +30 and when ever it is plugged in it will boot before any of the other devices.
