IDE device not found when booting from SCSI HDD of A4000?

Hi there,
i think your cf controller does not like the ide.device you are using.i mean the 4 way device (idefix.device),while the original (ide.device)found on the disk is "Compatible".
try to use the latest device and try other ide.device programs.
idefix,allegro , asimcdfs .all update the ide.device routines.
also do you have the latest "youride.device" version?
go to a cli,and run
version youride.device and report back the revision.

But you mate could really update your miggy .
why dont you get a 4091 scsi card or any other dma enabled scsi contoller.You will really explode the disk transfer.
consider the fastest solution.

4091 ....scsi dma enabled devices are like a desiese to me..
Get a, accel.
you will find one at 200e - 300e price range.
And you will have 128mb ram as well.
you can find scsi dma enabled board and 200e is not a fortune at all these days....

the ide.device ide routines......
if i remember coreectly it is under devs:c
it is strange the 4 way adaptors works.
anyway,glad you worked it out.
and yes,i will soon plug a cf card my self.
It looks a pretty easy way to transfer datas
