Efika and MorphosOk, I just gota ask this.

Anyone know if there is a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adapter similar to what you could get for the A1200?  Might be a small little market there, as it would be a great way to expand out the Efika just like we used to with the A1200.  I love to be able to put the Efika in a bigger case with a faster drive and CD.  The A1200 was never able to do this out of the box.  Any reason why you could not do this with the Efika?

The signal integrity of the ATA controller ofthe 5200B is rather weak and cables longer than 10cm are not realiable in conjunction with the 5200B. The Design is simply not intended for such a use.
Better access optical drives from other computers/NSDs by ethernet.

Didn't the buffered IDE adapter correct the same problem on the 1200?
