IDE4 Z2
Amiga 2000 IDE Controller for Four Units
IDE4 Z2 is a Gayle compatible 4 unit IDE controller, designed for Amiga 2000.
It supports four IDE devices on two ports (primary and secondary). Without any
additional driver the primary port is active
(Kickstart 2.05+ required).
IDE-max driver or similar software is required to enable the second port or to
use a CD/DVD device (the default scsi.device in ROM doesn't support it).
CF master/slave mode is selectable via jumper. A connector for IDE activity LED
is also available. The controller is RDB compatible: HDToolBox and HDInstTools
can be used for disk partitioning. Large drives are supported with e.g.
IDE-max + HDInstTools + PFS filesystem combination.
The board comes in beautiful green color and golden edge connector contacts
for maximal reliability.
The card position is marked with REAR and FRONT silkscreen texts for proper
mechanical installation.

* GVP G-Force 030 SCSI ROM conflicts with the Gayle IDE controller. If the SCSI ROM is disabled (J9 open), the system is booting, but the GVP FastRAM is not added to the free memory pool. Unfortunately this card doesn't use the standard free memory chunk addition method via an autoconfig structure; instead it uses an Exec call from its ROM.
Autoaddram or other tools are still usable for configuring the GVP FastRAM from $100000.
