Title: IDE CF Card Reader Compatibilty
Post by: dlortsher on October 07, 2012, 11:17:07 AM
I ordered on of these;
https://www.startech.com/HDD/Card-Readers/Internal/Compact-Flash-Card-to-IDE-Adapter-with-35-Bay-Enclosure~35BAYCF2IDE
to replace my floppy drive and found that the connector is not a match.... The technical info says it is IDE (40 Pin; EIDE/PATA) Male. Has anyone bought this device and made it work?
Thanks.
David

this is just ide, you still need to convert to scsi. mechware sells drives (pcd-50b) that are already scsi
