Commodore A2091 to control IDE hard disk
« on: January 18, 2010, 10:28:55 PM »
Has anyone used the "built-in" IDE hard disk control on the A2091?

Strange thing is that I seem to have this A2091 with a 40-pin XT IDE drive mounted on it (but nowhere to plug in the cable).  Obviously, I'm not the original owner of this thing.

This one is a Conner 850 MB drive, model CFA850a.  It's an XT drive?

Hmmm, since there is no IDE connector on this A2091, I guess I should assume that the drive was using the board for power to the drive only.  Weird.
