4 IDE-Adapter doesn't work...

[odaman]

Hi, all.

I'm using 4 IDE drives adapter in my A1200, but only two
drives can be useable, can anyone help?

In s:startup-sequence,
  C:IDEFix
  C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET
is written, and scsi.device is patched as V119.4 by IDEFix.

I connected two IDE drives to first port (master and
slave), and one ATAPI CD-ROM drive to second port (master).
But only two IDE drives are auto mounted, but no CD-ROM.

I tried to see device list with HDToolBox, but only 0 and 1
device id was scanned. I remove second IDE harddrive(slave)
and put CD-ROM drive on there (first port slave), CD-ROM
can be usable with L:CDCacheFS.

Why scsi.device #2 and #3 can not be useable?
What is probrem? Can anyone help?

Thank you all, but I have been having this problem...

To CLS2086:
I baught IDE-Express, and this has driver disk, IDE-Fix. I think this is
a licenced version. And I tried FindDrive tool, but only two drives are
displayed in scsi.device, and no drive in atapi.device...

To dnelsonfl:
Yes, CD-ROM is jumpered as master, and I tried no-jumper setting... But
same result...

I tried these settings :
  #1 : port 1 - IDE drive - IDE drive
       poer 2 - CD-ROM(master)
    port 2 CD-ROM can not be detected.

  #2 : port 1 - IDE drive - CD-ROM(slave)
       poer 2 - IDE drive(master)
    port 2 IDE drive can not be detected. And CD-ROM is detected!

  #3 : port 1 - IDE drive - IDE-drive
       poer 2 - CD-ROM(slave)
    port 2 CD-ROM can not be detected.

  #4 : port 1 - IDE drive - IDE-drive
       poer 2 - CD-ROM(no jumper)
    port 2 CD-ROM can not be detected.

Yes, it seems only port 2 is not working correctly...

To Matt_H:
I tried IDEFixPrefs in SYS:Prefs, and I set all port (0-3) as "autodetect".
But same result....

To all:
Does anyone know how to know IDE-Fix is registered version or not?

And I have to say, thank you for all who gave me a lot of informations, I'm very impressed.

To denelsonfl, and Framiga:
Yes, of course I tried both cold boot and warm boot, but same result.
I'm bit confused, my IDE-Fix is not licensed version!?

My IDE-Fix prefs setting is :
System Parameters
   Boot Graphics Mode : Default
   Disable Cache : disabled
   No FastMem : disabled

Controller Parameters
   Connector Type  : A600/A1200/A500
   4-Drive Adaptor : EB Standard
   ATAPI enabled   : Checked

Unit Parameters
   Unit 0 : Default, IDE Unit, HD Mount
   Unit 1 : Default, IDE Unit, HD Mount
   Unit 2 : Default, ATAPI Unit, CD Mount

And my startup-sequence is :
  C:IDEFix
  C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

I tried also :
  C:LoadIDE START QUIET
  C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET
but same result...

BTW, can you please explain me a difference of IDEFix and LoadIDE?
