Dual CF adapter in A1200?

[rkauer]

 AFAIK, using the CF cards on Amiga only works with just one CF on the IDE chain. The Amiga simply refuses to boot if a CD-ROM (marked as slave) is connected.

 Maybe two CF could work, if the problem lies in the speed of response of old firmware devices (like CD and HDs).

I once used to have external hard disk and CD-ROM drives, connected to the A1200's IDE port with a (not so) long cable, and they worked fine: hard drive as master, CD-ROM as slave.

 I still use the internal HD and an external DVD in my setup. What I was saying is the Amiga refuses to boot with a CF card as master and another device as slave. But with two CF seems to work ok.

 That's caused by differences in response time, I guess.
