This has been my solution for IDE on Zorro... I bought a Zorro extender from Rob Cranley over at EAB and he still has a few boards left. As you can see, I have a Buddha IDE & TruIDE inserted with a Subway USB module (think this rig will work guys? I'm gonna try!). I also have the IDE4Zorro card which works well with 4GB DOMs. It might not be what you're looking for but is rather versatile and not all that expensive! You can use any Zorro card with it. It really works best with a 3.1 ROM though. There's also the IDE4Zorro board.



Here's some links:

That is a really nice setup
Clean and simple

Thanks! A lot of thought went into it! (Not really) :)

Though it is exposed, i like my equipment hidden away in a box of some sort. i have cats in house and a todler whose have no problems tinkering or even chewing at exposed boards or electronic components

Animals & l'il ones that chew.... :nervous: Well, the only reason I bought the Zorro extender was to test/play with Zorro cards (oh, and it was made by Rob the Nerd!) so they are never a permanent part of the A500. I sorta use all this stuff like Lego blocks. :laugh1:

I cant wait to get my cold- sweating hands on a an amy dreamclone, if they become available to public :D

This is my AmiDreamClone... if this never materializes I think it will be (IMHO) the let down of the century. :(
