CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT KIND OF TRANSFER RATE ONE CAN OBTAIN FROM AN A1200 IDE CONTROLLER AND A FAST EXTERNAL IDE DRIVE. 2.5" INT. SEAGATE AT 200K JUST DOESN'T CUT IT !

Alan, Try using both lower case and UPPER case when typing, it sounds as though you are SHOUTING at us with capitals 😉 I seem to remember some incompatibilities with Seagate drives and the Ami's IDE controller which made transfers of around 200k/s quite normal. As far as I know there is no fix, it's just the drive ;-( If anyone else knows different, then let Alan know 🙂 BTW, my Western Digital internal IDE drive acheives around 400k/s which is average performance.
