Why do you not MAKE your own IDE controller? :idea:

It's not a big project, is cheap and you will have a modern hardware.   :-D

you're talking about this one ? did you do it ? is it reliable ?


Surelly is! Works even with a hd and a CD-ROM! But don't expect high transfer rates.... :-(

For using a cd you'll need 3.1 ROM, of course.

Wouldn't a CD work with a 2.x ROM and the relevant CD filing system?
Great that you've built the interface though! Any pictures?

Maybe you are right: but with a 37xxx ROM you couldn't boot from CD.

Yep, I done this nice hack. No pics: I f***ed my camera. :-(

You are a luck guy, indeed!

It's very hard to find an A530 around. They don't grown in trees, you know....... :-D
