Hello

I just bought an Alfa Data 2008 IDE controller to my vampirised A2000 and trying to get it work. Need only for CD or DVD support. Have anyone got it working?? Which device and filesystem I should use??

Thank you for reply. I have already tried to force it work with tandemat.device but without any success. It's totally different construction

Idefix mentions that it has drivers for
AlfaQuattro (all AlfaData Technic Corp.)

If that is your thing,Idefix97 3.5 is your cure!

Yes. There is one step forward:-) Program FinDevice from that packet detect my cd-rom at ad_atapi.device. But when i'm trying to mount CD0: from my own mountlist my computer hanges...
  What am I doing wrong??

I found one topic on forum, and there is a statement that Alfadata IDE Z2 should works with vamp...

Yessss I did it:-)

I have used ad_atapi.device and filesystem called "CDFILESYSTEM" not "CacheCDFS" from IdeFix and anything is working fine. Problem solved and topic could be closed. Alfa Data IDE 2008 is really compatible with Vamp in A2000. Thank you all for your support :-)

CacheCDFS is working too. I use this on Oktagon 2008 (scsi) with Vampire in my A2000. I also use a tandem controller for external CF in the same vamp 2000.
