If there are any questions about what to order, feel free to contact me.
I've tested all shipments on my personal Atari's before shipping. So rest assured they are working on shipment.
Additionally, you need TOS 2.06 to autoboot from the IDE board. But the IDE board will function without TOS 2.06. I do not recommend TOS < 1.04 though.
I also recommend HDDriver by Uwe Seimet, as it supports the secondary port to provide up to 4 IDE devices.
Using AHDI, CBHD or other HD driver software should work and will only support the primary port, i.e. only 2 IDE Devices.
I've tested the IDE board with many IDE devices, but I cannot guarantee it works with all devices. I'll try to help where I can though.
The IDE board is completely solderless in the STE, MegaSTE(provided U11 is socketed) and MegaST(with the MegaBus adapter) computers. For ST it needs soldering skills.
I recommend for ST users, to solder a socket on top of the 68000 CPU before installing the IDE board.
Also, there are many ST motherboards with the 68000 CPU in different places. You may need to recase your ST to fit the IDE board.
Please visit the Atari Forum via this link to learn more about others experience with the IDE board.
NOTE: When installing in MegaSTE or STE computers there is a chance that when removing the IDE controller the CPU pins no longer make contact and your STE may not boot. The pins on the CPU may need bending back to reconnect with the 68000 processor. BE WARNED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: I don't hold huge stock levels, so feel free to order, but there may be some delays, i.e. several weeks in some cases to ship your order. I'll normally contact you to let you know anyway on the status, but also feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This is a hobby after all :-) !!!!
NOTE: If there are any questions on the operation of the board, please use the Atari Forum so others can benefit from the answers. Thanks !!
