a4k ide cf troubble

[arnljot]

After a long time of a4k ide troubble I cannot get my amiga to see the cf card on my machine. It's been working before but not anymore.

The only thing that works on the ide port is "no ide" module I have.

I've tried two cf adapters, the first one burned out, both adapter and card.

The second adapter signals that it has power and card (leds), but no activity. And the amiga boots fast, but without seeing anything on the ide port.

I'll try an old fashioned ide drive later, but my hopes are low

The adapters were powered with the same kind as the floppy is.

Now, the first one was of that "hong kong" back plate type, like this Back Plate Panel CF to IDE Adapter Bootable , mini ITX

This was the first time I tried it, and when I tried it with power, both card and adapter burned out. Bad burn on the card, and burnt traces on the adapter.

Now, the other adapter is like this one

Now, it used to work unpowered. But now it doesn't work either way. Not with power, nor without.

I hink I will have to dig up my other cf card, the one which used to be in it. I've tried now with 4gb scadisk extreemeIII, the one witch worked was a kingston.
