IDE4 Z2 is a Gayle compatible 4 unit IDE controller, designed for Amiga 2000. It supports 4 IDE devices on two ports (primary and secondary). Without any additional driver the primary port is active (Kickstart 2.05+ is required with scsi.device). IDEfix driver is required to enable the second port or to use a CD / DVD device (as the default scsi.device in ROM doesn't support it).
CF master / slave mode is selectable via a jumper. Connector for IDE activity LED is also available. The controller is RDB compatible: HDToolBox and HDInstTools can be used for disk partitioning.

Hi really cool project! - what speeds / transfer rates do we get out of this? Does it go close to Z2 max speeds ~3.5MB/s?
ReplyDeleteThe read rate with 68020 @14 MHz CPU card is 2 MB/sec.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff - thanks :)
ReplyDeleteReally nice work, it should be compatible too with Tekmagik 040.
ReplyDeleteAlso is possible to do a version here scsi.device can have other name, to work with Vampire 500 V2+ ?
Regards,
Does it work in a 4000?
ReplyDeleteNo, it is designed for A2000.
ReplyDeleteHow can I get one?
ReplyDeleteDear Martin,
ReplyDeleteplease contact me in private message for shipping details.
it works with vampire?
ReplyDeleteI've received mine and i'm using it now. Works perfectly, thanks for making this. legend!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat CF cards work with this, I have tried a couple that I had and they did not work.
ReplyDeleteAny CF card should work without a problem. For technical support please contact me in PM.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI've tested your board with a Fusion Forty 040 and that combo doesn't work. The scsi.device from kickstart doesn't survive the FastKick process of the 040 board, loading manually afterwards from floppy works. Disabling FastKick makes it work but loses fastram and speed..
Hi, I would be very interested in these possibly as many as three depending on price.
