SATA HD on Amiga computers

[ferix]

Let's make some noise...
Has anybody tried this?

I have one, and It works fine even on an old 386SX in PIO mode (no DMA at all). It works also on a networked hard disk enclosure, so It should work too on any IDE capable Amiga.
Maybe, I'll try It on my A600

I am still looking for an adapter which allows to use two SATA drives on one IDE controller as master and slave. All adapters I've seen yet block the entire IDE port for only one device, although the IDE port can handle two.

This one allows It. You can atach two drives to this adapter. And It works (tested).

It does  not fit without an adapter cable. The A600 has a 44-pin connector, this adapter has a 40-pin connector. And it is rather difficult to find a ribbon cable with a male connector.

I know It, but I have the proper adapter

I don't think so. See the second answer in questions & answers on this page: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=118507043

This is how it works on any such adapter I've seen.

I can assure It works. I'm using It on a pentium 60 (yeah, the original one) with a HD as master and a CD-ROM as slave. (I know, It's a weird configuration )
Maybe It's not the same adapter, I didn't buy It on that shop, but It looks exactly the same.

Edit:
Well, seems that there are lots of adapters. This one claims to work as you want (like mine):
