    IDE Controller
  • small 1" by 3" board that connects to the 68000's socket
  • fits in the CDTV if a shallow IDE connector is used
  • AdIDE 44 (Novia) for 2.5" internal drives
    • covers the Paula and CIA A chips
    • mounting brackets and screws are supplied for mounting the hard disk inside an A500
  • AdIDE 40 (Prima) for 3.5" drives
    • drives can be fitted into an A500 in place of the built-in floppy drive using the Shuffle Board
  • autobooting (adide.device or icdide.device) - requires at least Kickstart 1.3
  • autobooting is problematic with the CDTV - either a boot floppy has to be used (which a bare CDTV lacks), or after a reset by selecting the hard disk in the Early Startup Menu (which require at least Kickstart 2.0)
  • incompatible with Western Digital and IBM hard disks
  • AdIDE 44 rules out accelerators that connect to the 68000's socket due to mechanical constraints
  • AdIDE 40 is compatible with processor expansions if the AdIDE is fitted below the accelerator - reported to be functional in A500 are CSA Derringer and Mega-Midget Racer, as well as Microbotics VXL*30
  • older software revisions work only with 68000 processor cards
  • A-Max II driver (icddiskide.amhd)
