EFIKA IDE cable
« on: July 23, 2008, 09:59:36 AM »
The IDE connector on the EFIKA is a female 44-pin. Is there a cable with a male connector on one end to connect to this and allow the connection of IDE devices other than a laptop drive? Or a 44 pin gender changer to allow the use of a normal cable?

@meega
You've really let me down. If you had posted that 29 minutes earlier you would have saved me 32 keystrokes. The bill for wear and tear on my keyboard is in the post.

:-P ;-)

1. You want a part for an industry standard interface that is nigh-on 20 years old...

To be fair, I looked for a 44 pin gender changer some time ago and couldn't find one.

Thanks! :-) My birthday was actually on Monday but was postponed because my other half wasn't here. So today is my unofficial birthday, so I'm taking all of the birthday liberties today :-D

Bugger! Thanks for the info. Does the USB stack support USB CD-ROM drives? If so then I'll connect the drive with an IDE -> USB adapter.

I got my EFIKA booted up to the MOS boot image so I'll try a USB CD-ROM. I haven't got a CF adapter yet so I can't install the OS.

Are any of the pins on the EFIKA headers for additional USB ports?

Why not use a powered USB hub?

I'll have to. I will be building a (very) custom case so the hub will have to go inside. The CD-ROM will be connected to one port, and the others will have to be extended to the back of the case.
