Silly question about internal A1200 IDE port
« on: June 10, 2005, 11:56:25 AM »
I'm working on an A4000 for the most of the time now, but my old A1200 is still here covered by dust... I'd like to have an internal CF2IDE adapter to flashboot OS3.1 and a companion 2.5HDD, let's say 20gb at least. I tried to solve this problem in the past, but nothing has been done, so what i'm gonna ask is this:

since I don't wanna buy an 4x buffered IDE interface and wanna keep the 1200 in its original case, can I use one of these or everything will blow up? :)

 thanx

Thanks mate! As for the CD - no problem! I've got a Blizzard SCSIkit along with my Blizzard1260 and both a Yamaha CDRW drive and an external LaCie HDD are wired externally! :D

 The other silly question now is: my brand new 2.5 40Gb HDD has the usual extra 4 pins to configure master/slave, but does a CF2IDE adapter has them? Haven't bought one yet, just wondering...  :-D
