* If you can't use a CF card, you might still be able to reach PIO modes 5 and 6 using another type of fast storage device, in case it **unofficially** supports those modes as a side effect of its high DMA speed. | * If you can't use a CF card, you might still be able to reach PIO modes 5 and 6 using another type of fast storage device, in case it **unofficially** supports those modes as a side effect of its high DMA speed. | ||
* If you attach multiple devices to a single IDE cable, the slowest device will dictate the maximum speed on this interface. For example, if you have a CF card that supports PIO mode 6, its speed would be hampered by a hard disk which only supports PIO mode 4. | * If you attach multiple devices to a single IDE cable, the slowest device will dictate the maximum speed on this interface.

* When connecting or disconnecting a device on this interface, make sure that the Amiga / Vampire is powered off. Also, disconnect all devices that have their own power connection, such as Digital Video, Ethernet and USB-Blaster cables, to prevent power backfeed into the Vampire. | * When connecting or disconnecting a device on this interface, make sure that the Amiga / Vampire is powered off.

* Be very careful when connecting a device to this interface. If you shift your connector to either side of this interface (meaning that you don't cover all pins), you can cause a short circuit and destroy the Vampire. | * Be very careful when connecting a device to this interface.
