I have the suspect that something wrong happens with AT file: this file should create oktagon.device, putting it in memory, but exactly where? I'm looking for this device and I cannot find it anywhere.
Maybe AT file must be loaded "manually"  in startup-sequence? I think that BindDrivers doesn't recognize it, so that oktagon.device cannot be found with impossibility to activate the hardware. AT file has an .info icon associated, so I can see it in workbench: it is possibile to active it also after startup-sequence? Anyone has ideas? No one has tried to use tandem IDE on amiga 2000 kick 1.3?

On WB 3.1 there is a command called ShowConfig which lists all expansion boards recognised by the system. I didn't find a similar program on WB 1.3, so I wrote this: http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/download/showboards.lha

Run it and look for a board with Vendor=082c and Product=06. This is the hardware the AT driver binds to (see icon information -> tool types).

Only if the hardware is recognised, the driver will load and initialize.

Hi Thomas, thanks a lot for your support. Well, I think card is broken 'cause it isn't recognised by system: here you are the output from you progs:
 
type=e6 product=$51 vendor=0202 serial=00000000 addr=2000000 size=200000
type=d2 product=$03 vendor=07e1 serial=00000000 addr=0200000 size=020000
type=e7 product=$0a vendor=0202 serial=00000000 addr=6000000 size=400000
type=c4 product=$01 vendor=0201 serial=00000000 addr=4000000 size=080000
 
Useful prog, congratulation! I have tried to reboot system and load Workbench by floppy (1.3) bypassing any startup-sequence command that could cause conflict, but the result was the same. I tried to change the card position onto another slot but same result: Maybe it's really broken , I've made a bad purchase. I'd like to a my friend to bring me his tandem card to test if works on my big box (he has succesfully installed the card on his A4000 ). Bad Luck!

But it was alive few days ago. Perhaps you can clean contacts to make it work again.
