4Way IDE device for A600

Hi folks - looking to speed up my IDE channel for my CF card adapter. Looking for a buffered IDE device to help with that.

Cheers :thumbsup:

OT: Dunno if it speeds the system up... but will check and give you a report tonight (with / without Idefix adapter) :)

I am almost certain it makes absolutely NO difference to ide speed, it merely adds a buffered split for adding a second device.

Because I believe the same with abraXXious... that's why I wanna make the test just for Skil to be sure :)
No need to pay for extra stuff if you don't actually need them \o/

Hi Mate as mentioned I have a spare one here. Its an eyetech one, will post a pic shortly...

How does a tenner sound mate plus the postage?

Hi Steve - sounds fine mate cheers, I'll grab that. Interested to see how MFilos test goes later but irrespective I'll still take it because I might add a CD Drive later and poke the cable out the side of the 600 :thumbsup:

Drop me a PM with the full cost inc postage and I'll send you a Paypal :)

Cheers

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Do a nice slim line drive install, ;).

@FOL

Haha - thought you would post something after I said that :)

I would actually BUT after putting in the ACA630 I'm not sure I can fit a slim line into the case unless removing the floppy and modifying the case to accommodate it. It's for another time though - the buffer will be of use when I get round to doing it and also it may or may not speed up read / writes to the CF (Mfilos is going to check that out maybe) but I can't see how it won't speed it up somewhat at least.

Cheers

Give it a month or so and Ill let you know.
I have my old A1200 slimline drive, so i can test with that.

I sure Ill make it fit.

I seriously doubt that a slim CD/DVD-ROM can be actually fit after ACA630. Haven't measured it yet... but I don't believe that the height of the passive heatsink leaves space for CD/DVD-ROM's backplate.
