Allegrocdfs - ELBOX Fast ATA 1200 MK-IV User Manual

Enhanced IDE is at present the most common standard controller for
devices like hard drives, CD-ROM drives, CD-RW drives, DVD drives, etc.
The Amiga 1200 has a built-in hard disk controller in the IDE standard.
However, only the PIO 0 mode of operation has been implemented in the
Amiga 1200, which is the slowest of all PIO modes with a maximum
transfer rate of about 3 MB/s.
The Fast A T A 1200 MK-IV Controller idea has been based upon the
assumption to exploit completely the currently produced devices in the
Fast ATA 1200 MK-IV standard with their increased speed and capacity.
The aim of this solution is to adapt the existing Amiga computer systems
to the new, many times more effective devices, while retaining full
compatibility with the existing software and hardware installed in the
system.
The Fast ATA 1200 MK-IV Controller has been designed to fit inside the
Amiga 1200 in its standard casing or in any Tower-type casing. The
controller works with two EIDE ports, which can accommodate up to four
devices. Apart from the PIO 0 standard, necessary for booting up the
Amiga computer from a hard disk and for accepting the oldest types of
devices, the card also provides for fast PIO 3 and PIO 4 modes.
