Hi again.

What IDE interface are you using? Amigakit.com's 15€ Buffered IDE Interface maybe ? Just bought one and I'm having some probs with it...

I had a problem with booting. Just tested with power drawed directly from motherboard's floppy power connector, and finally got it booting =).
Are you using IDEFix software ?

And my connections are same as yours. CD,nothing,compact flash,motherboard.

Nice pic you got there :lol:
Do you remember when you istalled the IdeFix, what .device did you select ?
My installation (FindDevice) finds only some strange tandemat_pcmcia.device and units 0 - 3 ? Could these be the IDE interface ports 0 -3 ?
Odd stuff and not working =(...

Could you check what .device and unit you are using ? Go to drawer where you installed the idefix and use finddevice. What CD filesystem are you using to mount your CD-ROM ? You have been a real champ, thanks =)

Have to run now, I'll bomb you again with more questions, if thats okay .

I think that the cd-drive itself is incompatible with ide interface or idefix, because when I used my external usb cd-drive the idefix recognized it perfectly also as in your case it recognized the slim cd-drive.

I'm actually waiting for two drives to arrive at my post office, one of them used to be in a A1200, so it must be compatible. Thanks for all the info, have to wait the for drives now :sealed:...

Lauri what you must do is just search at Google your Cd driver name and Specifications. See if it has IDE/ATAPI interface, as mine has (although I don't really know what's that) that's the main thing.

Yes, it should be a IDE/ATAPI interface drive :
http://www.teac.com/DSPD/support/sl_ide_dvd_cdrw/dw224e_overview.htm

The drive itself is from an 4 year old laptop that I have, and works under XP perfectly. I remember reading somewhere that TEAC drives are not that compatible with Buffered IDE Interface we are using, but that I'll find out when the other drives arrive at my door :)...
