CompactFlash to IDE adapter for A1200 required
« on: December 01, 2008, 07:19:02 AM »
Where can I get a cheap one that can be shipped to New Zealand?

I had problems finding one in New Zealand that was keyed. The adapter I found didnt have the missing pin in the middle, so it wouldnt plug into my A1200's standard 2.5" ide cable. I didnt want to damage anything by removing the pin myself.

I've got a cheap 2gb CF memory card. I just need the adapter now. :) I'd rather just go for a cheap item, I dont care about performance.

I've seen a dual memory card adapter.. that would be kinda neat having the option for two drives/cards!

Also: I've heard someone mention that they need a hardware gayle fix to avoid spontaneous resets?? How bad is this problem? When does it occur?

Thats all for now. :)

I wasnt confident I could remove it properly, or even get the right pin... so I sent it back and got a refund.

Is $21 usd an alright price? I'll wait for your replies before I buy it (I'll try and wait anyway!).
