CF-IDE adaptor
« on: February 23, 2006, 03:31:28 PM »
I saw someone advertising such an adaptor for the Amiga.
You place this on the end of the IDE-cable and you get a CF slot.

I searched on internet and I find that they are available in both 40 and 44 pin versions.

The idea is then that you can use this together with a CF card and you get a small, low power consuming, noiseless harddrive. CF cards are available up to 8 GB these days, and if you can settle for a smaller one they can be quite cheap.
I think it sounds like a perfect solution for a A600 or A1200.
With a little saw & cutting you can even make an opening and put the adaptor near it, so you can replace the harddrive easily if you want to transfer data or have different boot up configurations.

Anyone tried this on an Amiga to see if it actually works ?
