Hello, I've been trying to get a CD ROM drive to work with the big 40-pin IDE header of the IceDrake with no luck. I've also tried to connect a few different (known good) IDE hard drives, and tried several known good IDE cables, to rule out issues with the devices themselves. The Icedrake detects nothing no matter what I try. I have set them as master (also tried slave and CS to no avail). I have tried it in ApolloOS and AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.2.1. At this point I'm unsure of whether this is a software or a hardware issue. So my main question is; is there some way to diagnose the 40-pin IDE header to rule out a hardware problem? Like a CLI tool or something that I can run to see if the secondary IDE controller even responds, or something to that effect. I should add that the smaller 44-pin header works fine with a CF-card adapter attached. If someone else has been able to use the 40-pin IDE, I'd love to get some details on your setup!
