Seeing as the IDE on the TF536 is pretty much derived from the a1200/600, would it be possible to run 4 devices with a a1200 4 way IDE interface & IDEfix97 software ?
I don't have a 4 way IDE buffer to try, but I'm looking for the cheapest option of adding a 3rd IDE device 20 my A2000

Re: 4 x IDE devices on TF536 Possible ?
I have no idea. I've never used more than one device on the TF ide interfaces. In the modern world of 128Gb disks i dont see the point in more than 2 anyways. A CD and a CF card.ADRRichard wrote: 12 Jun 2022 20:10 Seeing as the IDE on the TF536 is pretty much derived from the a1200/600, would it be possible to run 4 devices with a a1200 4 way IDE interface & IDEfix97 software ?

Re: 4 x IDE devices on TF536 Possible ?
I had two devices running flawlessly, a CD rom and a 32GB CF card but then I wanted an easier (simplistic) way of transferring data between my PC and Amiga so I ditched the CDROM and added a second 8GB CF card mounted that as FAT32. Now I can just plug the FAT32 CF into the PC and copy my files onto it ( I know it's possible to remove the system CF from my 2000 and load up WINUAE and transfer that way ).terriblefire wrote: 12 Jun 2022 20:16I have no idea.

As long as there is no known restrictions in the TF firmware then I think I'll certainly give it a go, that way I could keep the CD ROM up and running :)

There are no "known" issues but its completely untested and if it doesnt work its not something i would support.
