I'm having a problem with connecting an IDE drive/CF-card to my scsi interface. I have an A500 with an A530. I think it may be the scsi-ide bridge. It's an Yamaha v769970 and i'm starting to think it's only for atapi devices and not for harddisks.
But when I connect a 3.5" HD to it, tt does get some info from the drive under HDToolBox. With a 3.5-2.5" adapter and a 2.5" HD or with a IDE-CF adapter however it doesn't work. The drives work under WinUAE or on my A600 by the way.
Does anyone have any experiences with this particular adapter and does anyone know if the more expensive Acard adapter works with the A530?
I know for a fact that both the 2000FU and the 7720U work fantastic with the A530, and with outstanding speed. (I still haven't had time to try a CF-IDE though.)
There are some OK deals on ebay for the 2000FU right now. It fits *perfectly* in the A530's case. I'll take a look for my 2.5" adapter, give that a shot with the 2000FU and post back. (May take me a day or so.)
cheers
