As some already saw in the Urmond pictures. I made a couple of CF to IDE adapters using PCMCIA (or PC card) adapters. it features a Master/slave jumper and a Blue LED
for a better look (copy all text between the whitespace to your browser): http://home.wanadoo.nl/edwin.blink/samcoupe/hardware/cf/IDE-PCMCIA-CF%20adapter.jpg On the Urmond meeting I tested a couple of CF cards hooked up as a slave device to my 450Mb Quantum Fireball and using B-DOS. As the test I put a test pattern on screen and I saved thescreen, reloaded it and repeated the save/loading continuesly for a minute or so. If there was a read write error it would show up immediately. for the save/loading I used READ AT and WRITE AT commands. It worked just fine with 4Mb (sUndisk) cards and a 64Mb card (Benjamin what was the Brand?) But did not work with a 16Mb Transcend card. Also a 128Mb sAndisk did not work 100% reliable. I will look into this 'unreliable' furter and see if it is a software or hardware issue. I know a couple of you already use CF using Collins CF adapter and I'm wondering which tests where made to test a cards compatibility and if the card was tested as a single IDE master device or a master/slave configuration.
