Hi, long time lurker here. I'm sorry to ask this but I have searched everywhere and can't believe no one has asked before now.. In TFTools, there is lightcontrol, but I cannot find any information on how to use it. I think (I hope) this tool is used to enable/disable the activity from the A1200 IDE being shown on PIN 39 of the TF1260's IDE. I've recently installed a Bifrost and I don't want the 1260 passing on the signal of the A1200*s IDE activity. Can I use lightcontrol to turn this off.
There is also another tool called lightsweep. Any idea what this does?
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)

Re: Lightcontrol
there was a special version of the card. 10 of them exist with blinkenlights on them.AndyM wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 10:39 am Hi, long time lurker here.

Re: Lightcontrol
Ahh, thanks for clarifying. So no way to turn off the passing through of the A1200 IDE activity on the 1260 pin 39 then?

Re: Lightcontrol
I'm not entirely certain I understand what you are asking. IDE activity is not passed from the TFIDE to the A1200. Its well documented the A1200 has no way to inject light activity from CPU slot.AndyM wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 11:15 am Ahh, thanks for clarifying.

Re: Lightcontrol
No I mean going the other way. It seems the TF1260 is showing the activity coming from the A1200 IDE - is that not the case? If not I have something wrong in my wiring!

Re: Lightcontrol
No i just checked. The IDELED connection into the TF card is input only and its not actually used on the TF1260.AndyM wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 11:28 am No I mean going the other way.
