Question A1200 IDE port failure?
Was wondering why a working IDE port would all of a sudden fail? I had been happily booting from a CF to IDE with 2GB (1+1) and had an x4IDE adapter installed. I had just tried the software installation to turn on the second port and my Ami just did a reboot and from then on all I get is "Insert Workbench" screen. It will boot off floppy.

I have removed the x4IDE and replaced the CF with another drive and cable. No dice.

Any suggestions?

Depending on what I hear from vesalia.de, as there might be warranty to cover this as this was a recent purchase... If not, I'll definitely look into this. The capacitors you are talking about, are these normal ones or are they surface mount? I hate surface mount ones...

Thanks for the info!

Hi AmigaNow, Most of the Amigas 1200 and 4000 had surface mount components. Too bad, the same thing happened with my A4000D. That's why I bought a Buddah IDE.
[edit]
Sorry, almost forgot to mention the A600 is also has an SMC.


Regards,

GiZz

Well, I thought I would give an update. I sent back my mobo to vesalia.de for repair/replacement back in early October. They initially did not find a problem, but said they would do more extensive testing. Last I've heard from them was about 1.5 months ago.

Does anyone know if their repair department is off on an extended vacation?
