Setup a real HDD on winuae and it boots fine. But when I put it in my A500+ it won’t boot. If I hold both mouse buttons I have cc0 card disk.

It should work but you will need very short cables or the buffers added.

I had mine working with a real disk for a bit. The cable is ~2 inches long

It also depends on the disk. Some work, some don't. I tried this back with the 530 but haven't tried it again since.

Sorted.
