4XEIDE and Vampire V1200

Hello, I have a 4XEIDE card connected to the IDE port of my Amiga 1200. When I try to install the software for the different readers, the CF with the latest system available for the vampire V1200 will not be recognized.
Is there a compatibility problem between the 4XEIDE and the vampire?
Thank you

If the V1200 has the core it came with, you will need to use the V1200 IDE connector, if you have updated to the latest version it should be the motherboard one, if so try the CF card directly to see if it boots.

The right question and the completely wrong answer.
The question is about "Idefix" compatibility.

  He suggestion was first to see which port is active, the A1200 internal or the Vampire's. Given that no details about core version, I'd say it was a fair response go start with.

If its about the IDEfix software, then as far as I know its not needed. But as worded it sounds like the device is not working.

Hi, I am using the latest firmware and OS.
So the EIDE is connected to the IDE port of the amiga.
If I try to use the 4xEide V4.7 software the amiga 1200 does not start.

Does it work without installing the EIDE software?

4xEide works with V500 for me.

Yes without 4xEIDE it works.
If I activate the line in the startup-sequence the amiga starts but the OS does not load completely.
So I think it's a software problem.
I will try installing a WB 3.1.4 to see if it work.
If this is the case, the problem comes from CoffinOS

4xEIDE works fine with 3.1.4 OS, so coffin have a bug for it.
