- Hi all,
-
- I've finally sorted out the problems that plagued my A1200 after
- upgrading
- from a 1260 to a 603e+ PPC board. The cause of the problem was
- Eyetech's
- dodgy buffered IDE interface.
-
- [...]
-
- And have you bought one of those 4-device
- buffered IDE interfaces for your A1200? If so, then it's likely that
- you have a dodgy interface. I suggest you try to get a refund, and
- buy one from somewhere else. I can recommend Power Computing - I
- received
- an interface from them this morning and my problems have been solved!
-
- *WARNING*
-
- Whatever you do, DO NOT buy such an interface from Eyetech! I can't
- emphasize that enough. I had one of their Mk3 versions, and managed
- to
- get that exchanged for the latest "high performance" Mk4 version -
- they
- charged me £18 (upgrade price!) for this, and it doesn't work either!
- What's more, they advertise 2 different interfaces, and the
- information
- given is extremely misleading. Neither board works on highly
- accelerated
- Amigas (Blizzard 1260 and PPC boards in particular). Power
- Computing's
- version is more up to date, cheaper, and more importantly it works on
- accelerated Amigas. In fact it's even manufactured by the same
- company
- (DCE in Germany) as the interface that Eyetech sell. I know for a
- fact
- that Eyetech know there is a problem with their interfaces, but they
- obviously blatantly lied to me on the phone when assuring me that the
- Mk4
- would work with Blizzard boards! So, stay away from Eyetech unless
- you
- like getting ripped off ;)

- Czy ten Eyetech to czasem nie jest jako¶ spokrewniony
- z naszym Elboxem???
- Na li¶cie pojawi³o siê ostatnio kilka listów od osób maj±cych problemy
- z naszym krajowym cudem i mo¿e to ma jakie¶ powi±zania.
