The sudden freezing of the machine when using the IDE was caused by incompatible default settings in drive setup in HDInstall, unchecked a couple of attributes there as 'last ID' and 'async'.

Issue: When booting from TF536 IDE, my keyboard gets stuck/locked up. This could be related to A2286AT Bridgeboard and 'Janus-handler'. Maybe worth testing without GVP SCSI as well. If I boot from GVP SCSI partition, keyboard doesnt get stuck and I can use TF536 Ide partitions without issues.
I'd say you're one of the rare ones that has a working combination, and you're very lucky!! :D . With respect, there's certainly nothing you're doing that I can copy/mimic that will have my TF536 work on the A2000.... it simply doesn't get past the flashy-flashy screen, with or without CF cards plugged in, end of story.

Btw, I get ~4.3 mb/sec raw read with the IDE tested with Sysinfo. Pretty fast.

I also had a hard time finding them, and most of the sellers I could find were in Europe and shipping to the US was prohibitively expensive. Instead I dug up the gerbers from SukkoPera and got 5 made at PCBway. I gave two to a friend locally, and used one. If @Gotang is in North America, happy to ship you one or two of my spares.
Hi bud many thanks for the offer but im in uk and got sorted this is a great community

edolnx, I'm in the US, I'd be interested in purchasing one off of you if you still have a spare.

Thanks!

I have one confirmed working A2000 motherboard, rev4.4, Agnus 8372A

Can the people with non-working boards post theirs so that we can hopefully find a common factor?

:roll: there are only two generations of Agnus chips, these behaves slightly different, last one is so called VBB Agnus, where VBB stays for Voltage Back Bias
