  • The card seems to work fine. I have tested this in two different A1200 rev 2B motherboards. I have also tested different LED clusters. I have swapped the 1233n for a 1207 RAM expansion board and no board at all and I have found that: when the 1233n expansion is installed the HDD light remains on constantly.


    Thank you.

  • I don't have an explanation for that, other than the harddrive acting up when accessed a bit faster. The ACA1233n does not have the power to control the LED - the LED cirtuit get's the information "on or off" directly from the harddisk/CF card. So it's the harddisk/CF card making the decision, not the ACA1233n.
