Ripple-IDE Controller Zorro II Amiga2000/3000/4000

Ripple-IDE Controller for Zorro II Slot Amiga 2000/3000/4000

This is one of the most modern Zorro II slot IDE controllers for the Amiga 2000/3000/4000.

With the same hard disk/CF card, data transfer is 80% faster compared to a TerribleFire card.

Features:

• 2 IDE ports
• LED connection for HDD LED in the housing
• 2 jumpers for supplying +5V to pin 20 for CompactFlash/IDE DOM modules
• Autoboat
• Runs from Kickstart 1.3
• Supports drives up to 2TB (with an appropriate file system!)
• Supports ATAPI drives such as CD/DVD roms, Zip disks etc. incl. boot
• Can boot from CD (CDFileSystem or BootCDFileSystem must be installed)
• Simple ROM update via shell tool
• lide.device driver directly from your own ROM
• SCSI Direct, NSD and TD64 support

Scope of delivery:

• Ripple IDE Controller
• Brief installation instructions

Optional:

• Wester Digital Caviar 160GB ATA hard disk, 7200 rpm, 2MB cache, 3.5″ (new), 30cm IDE cable
• Seagate Barracuda 160GB SATA hard disk with adapter, 7200 rpm, 8MB cache, 3.5″ (new), 30cm IDE cable
• CF card 4GB, slot adapter for external hard disk replacement, 30cm IDE cable
• Plug & Play with partitioned and formatted hard disk/CF card and AmigaOS 3.2.3 installation (3 partitions, WB323 with 1-4GB, games (50%), work (50%)) – if other partitions are desired please specify
• AmigaOS 3.2 license + Kickstart Rom for Amiga 2000

The card runs from Kickstart 1.3 and complements a TerribleFire card and PiStorm.

The card is provided with a 1U” gold coating for durability.

For partitions and drives with > 4GB a file system is required that supports TD64, NSD or SCSI Direct. In AmigaOS 3.2 the FFS is implemented, which works fine. The one from AmigaOS3.1 does not work! Otherwise PFS3, SFS or FFSTD64 can be used as file system.

The hard disks we offer in this set are brand new and in their original packaging – even though they were produced between 2007 and 2011.

The memory extension is “open source hardware” and was developed by Matt Harlum / LIV2.
