Hi Guys,

I have an A1200 and want to add a faster CD Rom drive ............. but have
problems.
System:
A1200 (Escom/Amiga Technologies machine)
4meg fast ram
3.1 roms
3.1 OS
4 Way buffered IDE interface
3.2 gig ide hd set as master.
IDE fix 97 software

Problem is this .................
I have a Samsung 48 speed CD rom drive in my A4000, this runs quite happily
and is recognised ok by IDE fix's find device, (is set as slave)
BUT on the 1200 it's a NO GO, only 8 speed drives or less are recognised,
any ideas as to why and what the problem is and what I can do to fix it.

Any help will be tested and much appreciated.

Regards,
Doug
