Please specify if you are talking about the Buddha or the FastATA (as I think it is) in the following

I bet it can. The Buddha pref let you set what PIO mode you want to use for each channel. I remember setting it to high for an old IDEZ drive and couldn't get it to boot until I used the prefs to crank it down (The PIO settings are stored on the Buddha so that it knows in what ode to operate).

The Buddha.  It also allowed the changing of PIO modes via the Buddha preferences and that also made a speed difference (when I was using it in my A2000 and A3000).

And is this software available for download somewhere? I'll have to take a look and test it myself to believe the things posted here.

Best bet is take the a4000 and mount it in a different case with an at or atx power supply using a power supply converter adapter.  I think AmigaKit has a psu adapter if you don't want to make one yourself.  Then you can have many drives ... ;)

Sorry!!!  I'm an idiot!  OK, who has got a hat that they want me to eat.

Anyway, back to reality and I've got my two 80GB hard drives finally mounted and running in the A4000D in 4 SFS partitions (2 x 40GB and 2 x 34.5GB).  The Deneb is working fine along with the Cybervision 643D.

Now I just need to sort out this USB ethernet adapter which mounts, but I can't find it with Genesis...
