I searched the groups to see that at least one person (Scott Davilla) has been able to boot the Apple TV using a compact flash to IDE adapter. I went ahead and bought a SY-IDE2CF-NB25 (http:// www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186050) compact flash adapter and a Transced 133x 8GB compact flash card. I checked if the card was being detected as a fixed mode card on windows and it is. I also noticed that a few people running OpenELEC have been successful using this adapter with various cards.
I fall under the category who havent been able to get this card working. When I try booting from it directly connected as IDE drive all I get is the Apple TV image with a blinking question mark. If I connect to the USB port using a IDE to USB adapter it boots fine. I was hoping either someone could tell me if I am doing something wrong or may be suggest and adapter that majority have had success with. -- Bharath -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en
