Short: Simple Harddrive-light for ATA-drives Author: powerstack@usa.net Uploader: powerstack usa net Type: docs/hard Architecture: generic Problem ======= This is for people who for one reason or another, no longer have a harddrive-lamp that blinks whenever access is made to the disk. (e.g. if the LED-cable of a FastATA-controller fails to connect) Solution ======== The enclosed picture (photograph) illustrates how an LED can simply be plugged into the (right) pin slots of a wide ATA cable. Whenever the disk is accessed, either by the internal Amiga controller or by a controller extension, the LED will blink. Known to work hardware ====================== It was successfully tested with a Western Digital 80GB harddisk and the ElBox FastATAIII controller. Warranty ======== No warranty is provided for the function / malfunction of any of the described hardware constructions. Use at your own risk!
