Title: WTB: IDE to CF adapter
Post by: Betelgeuse on July 14, 2009, 03:45:11 AM

Looking for one of these for use with Amiga 4000 (40-pin connector I believe for standard IDE drives). PM or e-mail you if have one of these for sale. Thanks.

if your prepared to wait a week or two for delivery then you can get one very cheaply from China via ebay.

Look Here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CF-Compact-Flash-to-40-Pin-IDE-Adapter-Bootable-9696_W0QQitemZ180328325603QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item29fc67e1e3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50)

Thanks. So these el cheapo offerings will work well with an A4000 and boot into OS no problem? Not sure about how compatible these are with the Amiga...

I got one of the cheap backplate adaptor IDE to CF adaptors for my 4000D and it works a treat.

Can be used as bootable device and as a slave - as mine is. But I have used it to boot my 4000D up without any problems.

I bought one from Dealextreme, cheapest because of the free shipping. Hopefully it won't take too long... Thanks for the info guys.
