Connecting IDE -> CF card to SCSI to IDE card

[alexh]

AFAIK if you get an 40-pin IDE cable the wrong way round nothing gets fried, but I'd ask a few more people first.

From what I remember, just like the FDD if you get the cable the wrong way round the activity light comes on and stays on?

All you need is an off the shelf power splitter Molex -> 2x Floppy. (assuming SCSI->IDE adapter also needs floppy power)

Plug SCSI cable into SCSI->IDE adapter, plug IDE->CF into SCSI->IDE adapter. Connect splitter to the power supply and the cables to both to both of them. Prep CF card on the PC using WinUAE, insert into IDE->CF adapter. Put everything back together.

I'd probably consider making a slot in the HD8+ case so you can insert/remove CF card without taking the case apart. This will probably require building a harness to screw the boards into the case, or if you are more confident, gluing it in place.
