GOOD newS I got the Lo-Tech ISA/IDE Adapter working. As per the spec it's designed for COMPACT FLASH CARDS. It doesn't work with the Modern IDE drives.
I found an Older IDE-2 Driver 250MB and the Adpter picked it up right away.
It worked in my 486 using DOS 6.2 and booted.
I could run FDISK and partition it.
The bad news, is I moved the exact same setup over to my Amiga on the PC Bridgeboard (ISA slot) side, and it didn't work. Fdisk said "no fixed disks" Adisk said "Read Error".
I've contacted the designer but my hopes are low. Designer replied to ask for more details.
I think the BIOS on the 8088 Bridgeboard may be picky or have some ISA standard in-compatibilities. Just like the IDE incompatibility with Modern IDE drives.
I haven't given up and hope designer can provide a ROM image to make it work.
Maybe even a flash card adapter which I order will work, but I doubt it since Flash card is on IDE side (which is working for me). It's the ISA side that the Bridgeboard doesn't pick up.
8bit isa card should be not plug and play and it may be generate conflicts of IRQs between cards accessing same IRQ. That's IMHO situation with Bridgeboard that has control over mouse, keyboard, serial, parallel and graphics (and related IRQ). Take a look at your card and check if exists pin port switches that may be set in order to change its native IRQ.
