Wanted 1200 accelerator adaptor for CD32

[Astral]

I want an adaptor for the CD32 to allow the use of A1200 accelerators. I have seen Arananet adaptors before but any brand and style will be considered.

Be aware, most of the A1200 accelerators aren't working with that adapter. Vampire is known to work through

It's a dud - wouldn't recommend it. Better get a tf330 or similar.

Used a lot of time to get it going, never worked with either blizzard or vampire for me.

Never worked - as in at all? Or what problems did you find? What did you try to solve them?

 

[screemo]

Nope, It simply wouldn't boot with either, only thing that worked was the onboard IDE, with no accelerator inserted.

I tried different firmwares on the vampire, but also to no avail. The blizzard was a mkIV.

But you are welcome to try yourself, has been out of stock on his webshop for quite some time though: https://www.arananet.net/pedidos/product/cd32-a1200-adapter

I bought also one some time ago and:
1. you need also the special riser from aranet
2. it worked for me with Vampire V2, but you have multiple connections: (1) from cd32 to riser, (2) from riser to 1200-adapter, (3) from 1200-adapter to Vampire V2. I had to align perfectly all 3 connections, then it worked stable, but as soon i moved my cd32 and the ideal constelation of the 3 connections was not anymore, I could spend 45+min to get it back working. After the 3rd session, I just gave up.
