AmigaKit PreOrder For The FastATA MKIV

I've been using the FastATA MKIII for quite a number of years now and would heartily recommend it to anyone. If you use BIG HD's like I do (Two 500GB HD's) or DVD/Burners (Two Lighton DVD Burners) then the FastATA is a must have for trouble free use of these...

I use the FastATA myself with SFS (SmartFileSystem) and can easily read/write very large files like DVD ISO images over 8GB and burn DVD's on My A1200 using my own DVD burning utils I wrote. It's fast and trouble free once installed and well worth the money if you need lots of storage space on your A1200 and like to burn your data to DVD's...

Indeed a great piece of hardware. My only beef with the A1200 version was the installation (i.e. the need to use plastic ties to secure the FastATA to the motherboard/rom sockets). It always felt kind of like a dirty way of solutioning the installation, however once it's in and securely fitted, it rocks.
