WTB: IDE to CF adapter
« on: July 14, 2009, 03:45:11 AM »
Looking for one of these for use with Amiga 4000 (40-pin connector I believe for standard IDE drives). PM or e-mail you if have one of these for sale. Thanks.

Thanks. So these el cheapo offerings will work well with an A4000 and boot into OS no problem? Not sure about how compatible these are with the Amiga...

I got one of the cheap backplate adaptor IDE to CF adaptors for my 4000D and it works a treat.

Can be used as bootable device and as a slave - as mine is. But I have used it to boot my 4000D up without any problems.

I bought one from Dealextreme, cheapest because of the free shipping. Hopefully it won't take too long... Thanks for the info guys.
