    Changed the title of the thread from “aca500plus red dioda light” to “aca500plus red diode light”.
  • Note that the Boot slot requires the card to be inserted before you power up, otherwise the card is not in TrueIDE mode.


    For the Aux slot, you can insert he card later, and it will be automatically mounted if it is PC-formatted (FAT filesystem, not exFAT!).


    The LEDs for the CF card slots are white on the ACA500plus. Further, the CF card slots are fully buffered, so they can't interfere with the CPU/Memory bus. If the card refuses to start or even crashes upon card insertion, you are most likely looking at a defective card, or a power supply problem.
