Do It Yourself buffered IDE for A600/1200?

[Piru]

I made the unbuffered one from one long cable, 5 connectors, one resistor and two diodes.

I used it for 4-5 years (until the A1200 retired, it didn't break), without any problems. In my opinion the buffering is not needed. YMMV.

@KThunder

also if you have several devices using different data standards buffering is needed. like if you have 2 hard drives and a cd and a burner.

I had 3 HDDs and a CD-RW drive for ages. I had no problems.
