Indivision AGA Flicker Fixer/Scandoubler

[LoadWB]

Does the Indivision cover up the IDE port on the mobo?  If not, then I'd be plenty happy to switch to a FlashIDE module, anyway.  Right now my 4GB CF is sitting in an adapter mounted to the HD bracket.

No it doesn't cover the port, just use a CF card and all is well

As a bonus the CF will be less of a strain on your PSU than a 'real' HD.

Nah, I'd use one of these:

Do a price comparison between a 44pin -> CF adapter + suitably sized CF card and one of those flash modules with the same capacity and your opinion may change.

I already have, and I have come to the conclusion that a CF-IDE adapter plus CF card is no match versus an all-in-one solution rated for industrial usage and longevity.  The IDE Flash is a much more elegant and less awkward solution.

Besides, we're Amigans... since when does price become an issue? :crazy:  We'll plop a couple of clams on a FF/SD, a couple more clams on a USB interface, but then decide to skimp on ~$45?  That's patently unAmigan.

And to stay more on topic, it looks possible to fit the vertical unit in the 1200, and the Indivision leaves plenty of space around the IDE port for it.  The horizontal unit may take some wedge-work, though.

How did you come to that conclusion? CF-IDE adapter plus CF card is functionally identical, a fraction of the cost, certain versions are just as easy to use.

The answer is in my original post.

Can the Indivision be held onto the HP chip using a thin piece of double-sided tape?

Depends on the strength of the tape. I did think ahout a bit of 3M tape but dont want to put something on that could cause problems if I need to remove it.

My other thought was heat issues, but I've seen heatsinks attached using some kind of tape that seemed to conduct quite well.

Tape would have to be better than super glue! :-)
