it's also possible to enable autoboot by disabling the CD-ROM drive, which is done by removing jumper 15 (this generally disables the CDTV boot EPROMs)

IDE controller
special edition of the Buddha Flash IDE controller that is intended to be used with the Phoenix A1000 motherboard, but can also be used with original A1000 as well as A500 and Zorro Amigas
differences to Buddha Flash:
smaller PCB
hardware redesign, 5 chips instead of 8
no 26 pin expansion slot
floppy power connector
the board can be installed in the following places:
Front Slot Phoenix Board
Side Expansion Port (Phoenix board, A1000 board, A500)
Zorro Slot
if the board shall be used at the A500, a special edition with a different mounted 86 pin connector is needed
the board must not be installed in the front slot of the A1000 board
when used at the Phoenix front slot, the INT6 signal has to be provided to the board as this signal is missing - the side expansion ports provide that signal, so the wire is not necessary when installed there
height of the board was chosen so that a laptop CD drive (14mm) can be fitted above the card in the A1000
when installed on the Phoenix board front slot, the L64 jumper has to be removed
2.5" hard disks can not be powered by the board due to thin PCB tracks - making them thick enough for that purpose would have been resulted in a more expensive multilayer board
it is necessary to provide power to the board via floppy power connector
in conjunction with a Phoenix X-Surf a new Mach chip is needed (includes also a fix which prevented the Amiga from booting with Kickstart v1.3)
only one jumper on the board, next to the flash chip: open = flash write protected, closed = flashing possible
small header in the middle of the board with two LED connectors
clock port
allows using expansions initially designed for the A1200 clock port
when installed in Zorro slot, pin 40 of the card's clock port is towards the front side of the computer, pin 19 resp. pin 1 towards the rear side
marked wire of clock port expansions go to pin 19 or pin 40, depending on the manufacturer's definition - e.g. expansions made by Individual Computers are installed with the red stripe on pin 40 (to the left), expansions of E3B mark pin 19 / pin 1 (to the right)
