Are you sure you don't have the DIS jumper on the Shuffle Board closed? This disables all drives except DF0:. Craig

Yes I have verified that, I called your tech support line and was advised to check this. Believe it is a problem with the 1010 pass through. I am trying to determine how to correct this. Looks like only +12V is missing however simply connecting pin 23 output to +12V hangs AMIGA. Any more suggestions…

I'm planning on buying the ICD Prima Hard Drive. I have two question it said I need a Switching power supply. What is that? How can I tell I have one? How much ram does it use up? Thanks Norman Wabash Valley – via Whap!

The power supplies Commodore has been shipping for the past few years are switching ones. Basically, if your power supply feels like it is full of lead, it is the older linear one. If it feels like an empty plastic box, it is a newer switching one. Craig
