Nothing so elaborate.
Just mimicking the behaviour of the GAYLE chip in the Amiga600 (A1200
has identical functionality aswell).
Gayle is (basically) an updated version of the Gary chip in the A500.
Provides an IDE + PCMCIA interface on top of the Gary functions.
It provides a (slow) PIO mode IDE interface.
No 68K programming required, since it is all in the kickstart:
scsi.device
Service manual for the A600 + schematics can be found at:

5-12B.png is the sheet which shows the A600's IDE connector.
Off to bed, just driven 850Km's today ZZZzzzz....
Talk later about the 2000 case etc.
Cheers,
Leslie
