Post by LL2k23 »

One of my A1200s is equipped with an IDEfix97 ... should I install the old toolsdisk on OS3.2?

You mean it has an 4-way buffered IDE adapter?

Doesn't AmigaOS 3.2 support buffered IDE adapter's 2nd port out of the box? Can you see drives on the 2nd port?

Installing IDEfix means you lose 3.2’s improved and bug-fixed scsi.device.

It's standard IDEfix with no express, anyway, it works pretty well, it's just one SD Adapter connected atm. - scsi.device is regonizing the IDEfix as it seems ...

Until you try something on port 2 you won't know.
