excited, too!
INDIVIDUAL COMPUTERS WEBSITE CLIPS
For any of you not familiar with Individual Computers, here is a website product clip for IDE Fix for all A1200-based systems. We are including this clip to show the extensive knowledge and expertise
that pervades Individual Computers products!
IDE-fix
For all Amiga 1200 based systems
4-drive buffered and terminated IDE interface for the A1200
The IDE-fix adapter doubles the internal IDE port of your A1200. At the same time it's an adapter from the rather uncommon 2.5 inch standard to the less expensive 3.5 inch standard connections. The first of the two IDE outputs is available as 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch connector, to you can use existing cables. The IDE-fix adapter is buffered and terminated. That means that your Amiga is shielded from noise that is caused by long cables, so it continues working reliably without crashing. There are adapters by other vendors that are not
buffered or terminated - you can identify such sub-standard adapters easily either from the price, or from the number of chips: If the adapter offered has only got one chip, look for something better!
The IDE-fix adapter is always shipped together with an original IDE-fix 97 license by Elaborate Bytes
IDE-fix 97 Key features:
* use cheap Atapi CD-Rom drives
* use removable IDE/Atapi devices (Syquest, IDE-ZIP, LS120)
* supports TD64-commands - harddisk capacities larger than 4 GBytes possible!
* IDE harddisk autopark
* Atapi CD-changers (NEC, Sanyo, Torisan) are perfectly supported
(CD-change can be done either by a program, or by a separate icon for
each inserted CD)
* Cache CD filesystem included!
* CD-32 emulator included!
IDE-fix Express adapter - your controller switches to turbo!
Since the end of august '98, the express-adapter is shipped. It is installed over top of the Gayle chip of the A1200, and a small cable connects express-adapter and IDE-fix adapter. You can easily find out
if your adapter is prepared for use with the express-adapter: It must
be black. If your 4-drive interface is green, it cannot be used with
the express-adapter. Don't worry - we have an unbeatable bundle price
for the new IDE-fix adapter, the express adapter and the special
IDE-fix express software license.
Transfer rates of more than 5.1 MBytes per second are reached with the
express adapter. The two IDE-ports are now handled as if they were
two separate IDE controllers, that means that two actions can be
handled at a time - this is perfect for IDE-CD writers, because
writing a CD requires reading from harddisk and writing to CD
simultaneously. The writer-software "MakeCD" supports all common
IDE/Atapi CD writers.
Not every IDE/Atapi device can handle the high speed of the IDE-fix
Express. Older harddisks or single speed CD-Roms would not benefit
from the higher controller speed, and some models even refuse to work
with express-timing. In such a case, each port can be configured to
be non-express separately, so you don't have to make backups of your
harddisk when upgrading to a new harddisk.
A special gadget is the diagnosis-software that checks for the correct
connection between the IDE-fix adapter and the express-adapter. If
the cable has been plugged the wrong way round, the computer will
start normally, and nothing will break. Only the diagnosis-software
will nag.
As you can see, Individual Computers are dedicated to user-friendly,
reliable hardware. For more info, please visit the site at
