4xIDE Buffered IDE interface for Amiga 1200 / 600

4xIDE Buffered IDE interface for the Commodore-Amiga 1200 or 600.

 
This high quality adapter permits up to a maxium of four IDE devices to be connected to the motherboard's IDE header with full buffering.
 
Features 2x 40-pin boxed IDE connectors (primary/secondary) and 1x boxed 44-pin IDE connector (primary).
 

Optional FastIDE adapter available:   For Amiga 1200 users, an optional FastIDE Gayle adapter board can be purchased separately to speed up IDE transfers. It simply plugs onto the top of the Gayle chip and connects to the buffered IDE interface with the supplied ribbon cable. Our software can be downloaded to configure the speed of the transfers from PIO0 to PIO4.

 
To use the secondary port on ROM 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1, the IDEfix software package should be installed. Any users who have an OS above 3.1 do not need to use IDEfix.
 
Large hard drives with capacity over 4GB supported on OS 3.5, 3.9 and 4.1.
 
This interface is fully buffered. Features insulation on underside of PCB to protect the adapter. Supplied with 44-pin IDE cable and printed manual.
 
This adapter can be used in both a desktop or tower case.
 
Unlike some hobbyist IDE adapters, this advanced, modern design inhibits read errors and false IRQ's.
