I just picked up a very poor condition (DIRTY) A500 but it has a AdIDE in it!!! I will clean it up tonight to see if the AdIDE works.

Cool! Where did you get it from? I am looking for another 500 in good condition as I do not want to mess with my MIB 500. Where can I get one? Dont want to pay more than $30.

It was in a box of stuff I bought from a guy locally. I will test the AdIDE, if it works, I will sell it to you for $20 + USPS shipping, that sound ok?

When I had my A500 I had one of the ICD TrifectaDX (or was it LX? It was the one that could handle both SCSI and IDE) Anyhow, it wouldn't take anything over 2.1 GB Either. I think it was a limitation of the controller and/or the software. (I couldn't get HDToolbox to work with it. Even under OS 3.1)

I have an ICD AdSCSI 2000 and I'm seeing similar problems. It pretended that a 4GB drive was 60MB and it would Guru whenever I tried to make a partition bigger than 550 MB on a 2GB drive. It looks like a software problem, which is sort of understandable given the fact that hard drives bigger than 2GB did not exist back when these controllers were designed.

I am looking at picking up an ICD AdSpeed/Aide2 card and since this doubles the CPU and enables a HDD for the A500+. I wondered if you installed ROM 3.1 in and added an AD540 with 4MB RAM would that meet the requirements for installing OS3.5? (Provided you network the A500 to a PC to use the CDROM drive for installation.)

Maybe this is an easier question: Can a Blizzard 1230 interface with an A500+??

No
You mean can you use an A1200 accelerator with an A500?

Thanks Cyberus, I am learning by the hour here. There is an acellerator for the A500 by Blizzard, but I was not aware at the time of how many flavors there are in Blizzard boards. Now I am into the A1200 and will not look to max out A500s any more than with an AdSpeed, MegaChip and an internal HDD.

Default Re: AdIDE not recognizing anything greater then 2.1gig
I have just installed the AIDE2 adaptor to an A500 ver 6A with 2.1 ROMS and it boots to the ROM screen fine. But when the ICD HD Prep is executed the program fully recognizes the Toshiba 2.1GB drive specs, but when AutoPrep or Partition button is clicked, I get the following error messages:

"Resulting partitions would be too small." Press Ok.

Then:

'ICDPrepHD'
Program failed (error # 80000005)
Wait for disk activity to finish. Press suspend or Reboot.

Both options cancel the program or boots me out with the red software error screen.

I have had the same results with TWO separate (same specs)Toshiba drives and get the same results. What I am doing wrong? :-?

Thank you for your help guys.
