yay!! it is good to have my miggy back

after spending about 1/2 the price of a new mediator on just the pass through connector it all works again

weirdly my FastATA is working quicker than it ever has before as well:huh:

and now it is all working as it should, i'll now put it to one side and not look at it again for about a year

 

[fitzsteve]

Glad it's all working for ya bud sux it cost so much to get the new passthrough though

PS, very nice speeds on the FastATA

Indeed they had you over a barrel mate

At least you're up and running though, that's the main thing and it's a great setup. Just a shame we wont see it at Amimeet

That is standard operating procedure for all retro equipment.

I want to thank AmigaKit for selling these, they are simple and cheap but perfect!!! well done guys

so green is power, red is hard drive and blue is floppy drive (nice)

I also hooked up the reset switch to the FastATA (not sure why but it is nice to have the button working)
