CF vs. SD

[Acill]

I use an Acard in my 4000T on my CSPPC scsi controller and get 34 a second through it using a 64MB IDE DOM (Disk on Module). After all the other choices and fighting with SCSI drives, scsi2sd and CF adapters on A4000T IDE this was by far the fastest.

Get an ACARD 7720 (or a 7722 if you know how to desolder and reflash the ROM) and use a small IDE DOM with it. Its an awesome combo.

Here is my setup, NOTE!! I desoldered the IDE header from the other side of the board and relocated to the front and switch to pins from a socket so I could use this DOM on the header directly. The 7722 is also reflashed with the ROM from a 7720 so I can use it with hard drives and not only CD/DVD-ROM like the 7722 is locked for, and is why the 7722 is a lot cheaper.

Acill's setup looks pretty sweet too! Acill, ever think about selling these pre-made up as a kit?

It would be expensive and I wouldnt make anything at all on them, but I would gladly build them for a small fee if the parts were sent in as long as time permits. I have been gone so dang much for work, currently in Japan again until the 29th.

@Acill  I was looking at these on ebay.  You post clears things up...  
So how do you do the flash from 7722 to 7720?  The Block of six pins in the upper right corner?

You have to get the 7722 I have in my picture. If you look at it you can see a square SST branded ROM chip in the left side. The one you get MUST be this exact one. IBM makes one like this with a flat ROM that I dont know how to reflash. This one in this ebay link is the WRONG one.
