CompactFlash to IDE adapter for A1200 required

[Fingers]

Also: I've heard someone mention that they need a hardware gayle fix to avoid spontaneous resets?? How bad is this problem? When does it occur?

Try never! :-D

The fault you mention relates to PCMCIA, not IDE, so don't worry about it :-)

I could never get it to work with a dual hard drive cable as slave master set up.

They don't allow ANY other device to be recognized on the same bus...a total PITA, but it's unavoidable with a single cable setup.

I've tested maybe 5 different versions, all with the same problem you report.

Best just to grab a cheap buffered 4-way interface & be happy with a total of 3 IDE devices (or 2 fixed & 2 switchable if you get tricky ;-) ).
