Adding a buffered interface to 3.9
« on: December 23, 2005, 03:22:37 PM »
I'm about to buy a 4 way buffered interface for my A1200 so I can add another IDE device. Currently I have a CD-ROM and hard disk connected directly to the internal interface. I have a few questions:

1. What do I have to do to get my CD-ROM working once it is connected to the buffered interface? I'm using 3.9, which I believe does not require IDEfix? So do I just change my CD0 mountlist to use atapi.device instead of scsi.device?

2. Will my existing Emergency disk still work if I make the same modification to the CD0 mountlist?

3. For fresh 3.9 installs, do I have to install 3.1 first, then IDEfix, then upgrade to 3.9?

Thanks

Thanks Thomas. So basically, I just copy atapi.device out of the IDEfix package, modify the mountlist, and I'm all set?
