Not certain that AOS3.5 fully supports a 4-way IDE adaptor.
Acording to the official FAQ it didn't. See:

Normal with many accelerators on a software reboot. I have to give
mine a help with the 3 fingered salute. It a hardware isue AFAIK.
Reset pulse too fast for the mainboard circuits.

Issue it later after the initial boot. Then reboot. The usual
rigmarole.

The new OS does after cold boot. After loading the ROM Updates.

Use prepareEmul later... works for me here.

I haven't an A1200 nor do I use IDEfix so I can't help much there.
