We are very pleased to provide you with the latest version

Controller for A1200.
We hope you will be happy and you will find it handy
for all your needs.

FastATA'99 ver. 4.7 is 100% OS3.5 compatible.

FastATA'99 offers you the following support for HDD > 4GB:

1. SPLIT: dividing a HDD into logical units > 4 GB,
2. NO SPLIT:  FastATA'99 supports the following:
                 NSD (New Style Device  - OS3.5),
                 TD64 (TrackDisk 64)
                 DirectSCSI commands.

We recommend using the SPLIT option. This will give you full
compatibility of your HDD > 4GB with all (old and new) Amiga software.

Note: When you install OS3.5 please remember to place the following as
the first line in  the s:startup-sequence
      SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device

In FastATA'99 you will find the automatic update for the newest
version of the fastest Amiga CD file system - AllegroCDFS.
AllegroCDFS is over twice as fast as other Amiga CD filesystems.

(Inside the FastATA'99 you will find AllegroCDFS.test1 file.
This is a text file with speed benchmark between
the newest version of CacheCDFS and AllegroCDFS.)

Automatic updates will work only if you own a registered
AllegroCDFS. The registration number of AllegroCDFS is in
one of MACH210 chip in the controller.
(Every GOLD version of controller are always purchased with this
registration number inside.)
For all older controllers you could upgrade to the package with the
registered version of AllegroCDFS.
In order to purchase AllegroCDFS, call your local distributor for
FastATA controllers or approach PowerComputig Ltd:
sales@powerc.demon.co.uk
All later upgrades for the AllegroCDFS registered users will be
available free of charge on the Web, as usually.

We recommend using  UNIX-like process scheduler - Executive
(from Aminet) for full multitasking during EIDE devices operation.
