IDE-fix will not install
« on: March 25, 2009, 10:46:18 AM »
I am trying very hard to get data to and from my Amiga 1200 but am having very little luck.  I tried the CompactFlash adapter from AmigaKit and it doesnt work so now I have bought an IDE-fix buffered interface so that I can use an IDE cdrom more reliably.

However when I try to install the software it says 'cannot open tool Installer'.  I have a bare WB3.0 install so I dont have anything else.  What do I need?  Is there someone in the UK that can send me a floppy with what I need?

Thanks
Allan

Thats great, the version on the Install3 disk seems to work great.  Now I have a new problem!  The guy I bought the buffered IDE interface from (on ebay) didnt give me a serial number for the software.  Looks like I will have to buy that seperately!

It doesnt recognise any of my CD or SD cards.  I have tried 6 different ones :(

Why didn't the transfer kit work?  That's the easiest way to transfer files between your Miggy and your PC.

Ok, so I installed the demo version but when I scan for devices it just crashes.  I am using an Artec 48x CDRW on the secondary port of the IDEfix interface.  DOes anyone have any clues?

Thanks
Allan

Well, I eventually managed to get my CD-ROM detected.  It seems that it refused to work using a CF card as a hard drive but when I used a real HD it all just worked.  (I'm pretty sure it wasnt a jumper issue either as I tried every combination possible!).  Now I need to hit the Aminet to get some software onto the miggy :)
