What perfect timing, I've been looking for a FastATA board on ebay today. Think I'll buy one of these instead. :)

Still no love for the big box Amigas :(

Some of us have money in hand if upgrades became available.  Hint, hint...

Don't forget: last year we funded (at notable expense) the production run of ZorRAM for big box Amigas.  What upgrades are you referring to?

I think he means he would like a FastATA for A4000.

I wouldn't mind having one for mine too.

The Elbox shop on their website seem to have it in stock.  I've ordered stuff directly from Elbox in the past (graphics card for the Mediator and an upgrade ROM for my older FastATA4000).

Yeah, I'm not too concerned with RAM at the moment, my main needs are CPU, drive controllers and flicker fixer, although once those are taken care of the Zoram is on the wishlist as well.  I'm the guy that's about to buy a new GVP 060 despite the gotchas just because it's available as a new refurb...

@Darrin: I've had hit and miss luck with direct to the manufacturer, but if ElBox is responsive I'll have to check it out.  I want a Mediator CD anyway.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread...

How has this controller worked out for others?  How about the 4000 version?

On paper it sounds good and although I'd like DMA, at least it wouldn't hang up my Deneb like my 4000T SCSI does.

Edit: I will wait a bit to see if the card shows up on AmigaKit.

I've used the FastATA4000 with my towered A4000D for some time, although when used in conjunction with my Mediator board and Deneb, I started getting some issues and had to use my Deneb in Z2 mode (I'm still not sure whether it is a result of the Mediator, Deneb or FastATA).  My FPGA Amigas have delayed me putting my A4000 together again (I stripped out all of the boards, rearranged the drives by fitting 2 removable bays and a CF Card reader).  I need to do the new firmware update to the Deneb which I hope will fix the Z2 Mode problem and I've put together a ClassicWB 3.9 installation using PFS3 with WinUAE which I need to test.

My only advice when using the FastATA4000 is to test the different modes first before saving them.

As a matter of interest and apart from maybe not physically fitting, would a FastATA1200 work in and Amiga 600 ?

Has anyone shown interest in developing some SATA products for the Amiga?

We offer a SATA IDE adapter with the FastATA 1200 MKIV as a product option

I have one on my A1200 with a 2TB Sata hard disk hooked up- it works well.

I was also going to ask if you would be getting any ZIII versions in but I just looked at the prices for those and  Ijust don't have the $$$ for that. :(
