Installation of the controller

You should only install the controller on your own if you have experience in installing hardware upgrades. If you don't dare to do it on your own, your service partner will help you.

Installation in the A1200 on the IDE-port

For this way of installation a cable is necessary that is not shipped with the Catweasel. It's a standard 2,5" -> 3,5" IDE cable. If you have such a cable, follow the instructions on installing the controller to the IDE-port in the A4000. The local expansion slot on your Catweasel MK2 will be inactive with this way of installation, so you should consider installation on the clock-port.

Installation in the A1200 to the Clock-port

We strongly recommend using the clock-port for installing your Catweasel controller. Using this port, the local expansion slot is usable, and the compatibility with standard 4-way adapters is given (e.g. IDE-fix 97 interface). Using such a buffered adaptor is recommended if you're using a cable that's longer than 30 cm (12 inches) or if you're using more than one IDE-device.
