Manufacturer Elbox, Poland | Date 1998 | Amiga A1200 | Interface Kickstart socket, Gayle | Autoconfig ID 2206 / 8,16,182206 / 19,24,53 |
- Fast EIDE controller
- supports PIO0, PIO3 and PIO4 devices
- meets the ATA 3 and Fast ATA 2 specifications
- up to 16.6 MB/s transfer speed
- totally replaces the A1200's IDE controller by attaching to the Gayle and the ROMs
- the ROMs have to be plugged onto the FastATA main board
- a small fly has to be attached to pin 39 of the old IDE header
- small cutout on the board allows access to the clock port for Catweasel users
- three IDE headers:
- two 40 pin, 3.5" (primary and secondary)
- one 44 pin, 2.5" (primary)
- the primary and secondary buses can be accessed at different speeds
- up to four IDE or ATAPI devices can be connected at once
- buffered and cached interface
- reset switch connector
- unconventional handling of >4 GB devices - they are simply split into separate logical 4 GB blocks
- supported by Linux
- variations
- FastATA 1200 Lite / PowerFlyer Junior
- supports 16 bit ATA transfers only
- can be upgraded to full 32 bit FastATA by simply plugging in the upgrade chip
- FastATA 1200 Mk2
- improved firmware in the PLD chips
- newer autoboot ROM

Manufacturer Elbox, Poland | Date 1999 | Amiga A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro III | Autoconfig ID 2206 / 252206 / 29 |
- Fast EIDE controller
- supports PIO0, PIO3 and PIO4 devices
- meets the ATA 3 and Fast ATA 2 specifications
- up to 16.6 MB/s transfer speed
- two 40 pin IDE headers (primary and secondary)
- the primary and secondary buses can be accessed at different speeds
- up to four IDE or ATAPI devices can be connected at once
- hard disk activity LED connector
- unconventional handling of >4 GB devices, they are simply split into separate logical 4 GB blocks - can be turned off by software for filesystems implementing NSD, TD64 and Direct SCSI commands
- multiple FastATAs are supported
- compatible with other IDE controllers (for example the Buddha)
- FastATA 4000 Mk2
- improved firmware in the PLD chips
- newer autoboot ROM

Manufacturer Elbox, Poland | Date 2000 | Amiga A1200 | Interface special (see text), Zorro IV | Autoconfig ID 2206 / 30 |
- Fast EIDE controller
- two 40 pin buffered and terminated IDE ports (primary and secondary)
- supports PIO0, PIO3 and PIO4 devices
- meets the ATA 3 and Fast ATA 2 specifications
- up to 16.6 MB/s transfer speed
- the primary and secondary buses can be accessed at different speeds
- autoboot ROM
- up to four IDE or ATAPI devices can be connected at once
- the A1200 motherboard IDE controller remains fully functional
- hard disk activity LED connector
- attaches to the E/Box Zorro IV busboard
- treated as a 32 bit device while configured in the Zorro II address space
- since the Zorro IV bus does not support DMA, FastATA Z-IV consumes valuable CPU time during transfers
- requires at least a 68030 processor board with 16 MB RAM
