- Fast EIDE Controller
- buffered and terminated 4 drive IDE adapter for the internal IDE port of A1200
- small board connects to Gayle chip ("Express Adapter") which increases the transfer speed to ≥ 5.1 MByte/s
- allows long cable connections by shielding the Amiga from noise on the IDE port
- intended to connect external CD-ROM drives / writers and hard disks
- three IDE headers:
- 2× 40 pin, 3.5" (primary and secondary)
- 1× 44 pin, 2.5" (primary)
- disable jumper
- the two ports does not behave as though they were separate interfaces, accessing them simultaneously causes slowdown
- units on the secondary port don't signal the drive light
- delivered with IDEfix '97 IDE driver, CacheCDFS CD-ROM filesystem and CD32 emulator
- supports removable devices
- allows drives >4GB by supporting TD64 commands
- expansion is 20% slower than the Power Flyer Junior
