Symptom:

text
When using the Sintechi (*) SD2IDE-adapter in an A1200 the H.Drive LED is always on. 
Apart from this, these adapters works perfectly.

* SD2IDE

Cause:

text
The motherboard should turn on the HD LED when the IDE /ACTIVE input is low. 
However, the transistor on the motherboard controlling the HD LED will switch it on 
whenever it sees more than ~0.6V difference from 5V on /ACTIVE. 
As the more recent version of these SD card adapter outputs 3.3V when there is no activity, 
the LED will never be switched off.

Solution:

text
Using a 74HCT14 IC in-between the pin 39 /Active signal will bump the 3.3V 
up to 5V since HCT has TTL-level inputs. 2V is enough to detect a High, 
which will then be shifted up to 5V on the output.

Questions

How big is the A1200 IDE LED fix board PCB?

It measures 45 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the A1200 IDE LED fix board use?

6 parts, built around the 74HCT2G14GW. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the A1200 IDE LED fix board KiCad files?

From the jbilander/A1200_IDE_LED_fix_board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/A1200_IDE_LED_fix_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the A1200 IDE LED fix board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
