Hi Amiganians,
I have a problem that is running for a very long time, i'll spare everyone the details.
This is my configuration:
Amiga 1200 mobo
Mirrage Tower
Mediator SX
Blizzard PPC 6840 cpu
FastATA 1200 MK-II
2,5 inch Toshiba HS(60 hgb)+2,5 inch Seagate (250 Mb) HD
Voodoo 3 dfx videokaart
I just don't seem to be able to get my hd+cd rom connected. I have tried many things:
Connected the seagate directly to the 2,5 connector op de FastATA 1200 MK-II, nothing else, but the hd was not recognized in the bios (early startup amiga menu). I then checked if it was properly connected (the FastATA 1200 MK-II that is, it is connected OK). I use a
2.5>2.5>3.5 cable, could this be the problem ?
Also my floppy drive is acting strange, the animation appears but it does not respond to floppy inserting, tried ide cable in both ways, on results in passive floppy animation, the other way, it does not respond at all. I read everywhere that the internal ide should work on the FastATA 1200 MK-II, but in my case it does not. I tried with another 1200 mobo (80 euro's!!), no result to be happy about. This is realy frustrating as i have 5 pc's running (windows) that work fine, while the most expensive on of them all (Amiga) is gathering dust.... (pfff). I used ide'99 before also did not work. I assume i cannot just connect the 2,5 seagate directly on the native ide on the mob, seeing that is connected with the FastATA 1200 MK-II.
