DF1: P R O B L E M ?!?!?

[Daniele]

Hello,

I opened my desktop A1200 and I wanted to connect external

CD-Rom with IdeFix Express. I hooked Idefix Express to an

external Cd-Rom with its own power supply. But when I have

to install IdeFix put Install 3.1 into df0: and Ifefix

disk into DF1: but DF1: do not appear. I tried several

external FDD but always DF1: do not appear.

Thinking that was a lack of Power I powered and AmigaKid

DF1: with its own power supply and hocked this secon drive

to a dual FDD cable. But same problem DF1: won't appear.


How can I do to make DF1: work ?


Because I cannot install idefix express floppy because it

requires Install 3.1 and then go to write datas of the

disks and the disk become full!!!!



I need 2 Floppy Disk Drivers to do the installation!

What can I do?


Please help me!!!

Many Thanks

Ah I forgot I do have an iternal HD 2.5 !!!

But don't know why : nothing to do the Amiga doesn't wanna

see the DF1:!!!

[Daniele]

The Amiga do not want to boot from DF1: if I enter in the Menu by holding both mouse buttons. And my HD has been formatted so I do not have WB inside in order to install IdeFix. What do u think? What can I do? Is my Mobo broken?

Let me know,

Thanks in Advance

I booted from DF1: Nuttin to do.

But even if the DF1: port seems to be dead is not true

because I hooked another FDD with the dual cable connector

I mean the FDD for the tower , another DF1: and this is not

on the DF1: port and this is not working also!!!!!


So ... What can the the cause and the solution of me

problem?

[Daniele]

I installed OS3.1, IderFix , and OS 3.9 with one floppy

but I continue to not see the DF1: what should I do?

Do I have to change mobo?

I remember that before opening the desktop to hook the

IdeFix Express tre DF1: worked fine!!!!

So ?

[Daniele]

Tried without IdeFix ... DF1: doesn't exist.

Is the motherboard fried ?
