- I have bought an IDE Mitsumi FX400 wich I can't get to work on my system:
- A1200 blizzard 1200 2+4 meg tot. I have rebuilt a cable to fit the CD-Rom
- player after the Conner harddisk (80 meg). I tried to install Idefix from
- Aminet ( included atapi.device ) but my system will not adapt the CD-Rom.
- I power the Cd-Rom parallell from internal drive (df0:).
- Do you have any solutions for my problem?
