Hey a lill update, today I got my 40-pins PATA/IDE flash/drive for my miggy, it will be used instead of the adapter and Compact flash card to save space on my 4-way buffered IDE interaface :)




It's small and I got a 4-pin molex adapter for it also :)

Edit: It has a switch for master/slave if I use a female to male adapter and want to use more then one.
Transfer speeds measured to r/w 46/28MB/s on PC.

I have a PATA/IDE USB adapter for PC so transfering from my CF wont be hard :)

Just noticed how small the ACA1231 accelerator is and how much room is left in the trap door area with the ACA1231 installed.

It would be great if Jens could make a new run of ACA1231 accelerators that had extended PCB's to fill the empty space, and that other half of currently unused space could contain a real 24bit graphics card.  Something like the equivalent to a PicassoII, or better a PicassoIV w/4mb VRAM to make it a combo accelerator & 24bit video card would be fantastic. Some of us A1200 owners prefer to keep the stock wedge A1200 case design, and don't want to put our A1200's into tower cases.

Probably not enough market for such a product and it might be difficult to reverse engineer the PicassoIV and shrink it down to such a small form factor, but it would be a very cool combination product for the stock A1200 case.

Agree 100%, I would wish to have a something to fill that space, I want my A1200 in the wedge!
I think it would not be so hard to make a small PCB for the PicassoIV but as said reverse engineer it would take some work, but would be a great thing to have!
I would buy it and in a instant buy a new ACA card with expansion port for it!

Absolutely no. With this kind of hardware add-ons your mggy won't run hot. At least mine is ok with a similar setup.

You probably won't have heat problems, I am not sure why I have heat problems (esp with lisa) ive seen a few more with same problems as me but have not figured out the cause yet.

Also congratulations! Lovely setup you got going, if you need anything or any help just drop me a line, startup-sequence, WHDLoad setups, my OS configs etc etc ill be glad to help :)

Mines not, not even runnable for 5 mins for me without the fans. I did a million things to figure out my artefact's and strange errors/gurus before I found that heat was causing it, and bam fans on = no errors what so ever.
One thing I can be sure of is that the problems starts as soon as I plug in the Indivision.
But smooth sailing for me now so I am happy anyways :)
FD fans = best silent fans ever :) So they do not annoy me :)
