connecting a PC as an ide device on amiga
« on: October 14, 2010, 03:31:37 PM »
Wondering if this has been done, googling it is hard because of noise.

Basically, having a pc running an IDE emulator, serving for ex. a single directory.
Amiga side see this as a normal IDE hd, so that support is built in (with >3.0 kickstart I guess).

Anyone heard of something like this or similar?

just to clarify, the point is for the amiga to only see a normal ide hd, bootable without any special drivers.
The pc end could be a variety of connections I guess, any that is able to supply the required IDE signals.

Thomas mentions SCSI, thats very interesting. Anyone tried this and is it bootable from rom? Ie linux pc with scsi card<------>scsi card attached to amiga.
