I'm running OS3.9 BB2 on a 1200 with a Mk4 1230 and I'm trying to get my IDEExpress working properly. If I installed the supplied software it just hangs on startup (you have to comment out the IDEFIX command from the startup sequence to get it working). I'm not sure why it keeps hanging, maybe it's because I don't have a CDROM and it's trying to find one?
Just an FYI, but I was never able to use the idefix command with my Express adapter and CF cards (Sandisk cards here as well), though I do recall it working fine with my actual laptop drives. The system becomes unusable immediately after executing idefix.
It's currently showing 3.3 mb/s in Sysinfo (Sandisk Ultra 2 4GB), does that mean it's configured properly?
Probably - really depends on your accelerator card and your software configuration. 5 MB/sec should be possible with some '030 cards (
cheesy screenshot from my overclocked Apollo '060 card). In my case, using the "speedyide" patch from the Blizkick archive increased the SysInfo score by about 1 MB/sec.
