A1200 Internal CD, the easy way...

[PG]

Well, i have found an easy way to use an Teac cd-224e as an internal cd, i thought i should share it with anyone interested.
Here is some pictures of my adapter:

Just make sure the CD is set as slave, pin 47 to ground!
If anyone is interested in the adapter, feel free to contact me at: per-gunnar_johansson@NOSPAMspray.se
Just remove NOSPAM before sending the email..:-)
Price 12GBP + shipping

Ok!
The adapter itself is very easy to install, just plug and play!..:-)
Then of course you must also find a slimline cd, ide-adapter, a short 3.5" cable and a floppy connector for the power supply to the cd.
The most complicated part is maybe to set the CD as slave if its not when you buy it.
I also forgot to mention, you need a 4.5A PSU!

Yes!..:-)
Important: i now discovered that i made a mistake when i wrote down my email address..:-(
The error is now corrected, so if anyone has tried to contact me via email, please try again!!

I think the only easier way is if you find a slimline cd with a 2.5" Ide-adapter.
Then you would only need a 2.5"-2.5" cable and add an extra connector...

@leirbag28:

Yes, thats right, im selling the cable with the extra 3.5" IDE connector + 5V power supply for the CD-Rom.
Its not buffered, its not necessary.
If youre interested, please mail me for details!..:-)

@JuvUk:

If you do a search on ebay, try for example: "slim ide adapter" and you should find what you are looking for.
If you intend to use my adapter cable you will also need:
1. A slimline CD-rom set as slave (i have only tested Teac cd-224e so far, but any ATAPI CD-Rom/burner should work, i think.)
2. The slim ide adapter
3. A 3.5" - 3.5" cable to connect the cd-rom to my adapter cable.
4. A floppy power connector with about 10cm cable, for the CD-Rom power supply.
That should be all you need..:-)
Note: i recommend that you use a 4.5A PSU!
If you can only find a Teac cd-224e set as master, you can change it to slave by for example soldering a wire from pin 47 to ground.
