Which device for IDE?

[Retro_71]

Where in the Startup are you putting IDEFIX? it has to be at the begining.
Also how are you attacking your adapter? Make sure it doesn't move around i use a hot glue gun.

Here is an example of my startup_sequence

; STARTUP-SEQUENCE BEGIN
set echo on

IF EXISTS SYS:C/IDEFIX
C:IDEFIX
ENDIF

C:SetPatch Quiet

If EXISTS C:NSDPatch
C:NSDPatch Quiet
ENDIF

C:Version >NIL:
C:AddBuffers >NIL: DF0: 15
FailAt 21

I am running os 3.9 (but this is the modified startup-sequence on the 3.1 install disk i have had to modify the disk itself and remove and add programs).
It is not the whole startup sequence.. that is quite long.
Until my ide express went dead (waiting on a replacement from Amigakit) it was much faster then onboard sry but i never did do a bench test, but compared to on board you can notice the difference. I have a Cobra 030 board with 32MB Ram, and a 20GB HDD and a Liteon CDRW.

If you want my startup sequence i can pm it to you. Just Pm me
