6 pcs A600 "angled" ide-cf adapters 20€/pce and a few with extension header on top side 25€/pce.

Two of the adapters that have a socket on bottom and header on top have
the other CF-connector guide cut off in order to make space for 44-contact 2.0mm IDC-connector to plug on top. (an IDC-connector is bit wider than a corresponding pin header.)

Hi, I want buy an Angled CF Adapter for A600 :)

I will have to check if i have any left.

V402 boards with programmed cpld but without connectors but tested with temporary press connection to ide-cfcard and a500 mainboard.
For sale 28 euros + 2 euros postage.
 
are there any V402's available? I'd be interested in 2 if there are
 
Please see 1st post of thread. I will update availability information there. ab

About v402 boards Without connectors. I have 32 pin socket strips with long contact pins. Soldering these will make adapter boards taller than previous assemblies.
 
If you need the pins for MKL IDE68K. Just get them from spare IC socket's (Like I did).. Drill a small hole in a piece of wood. Put Socket over the hole with the pin in, and push it out (one by one), as it's very easy to do...

Do any smart chaps around here know why the a600 patched ks1.3 ROM doesn't work with the c.f. Ide adapters in an a500 ?

I know the patch uses an a1200 scsi.device module and this could have something to do with it. I've tried patching with the a500 ks3.1 scsi.Device module but the patch is specifically written to use only 2 versions of the a1200 module.

It doesn't work in the CDTV either. I tried it with Kippers CF card+8mb board.

The annoying part is 2.05 and 3.1 a500/a600 specific scsi.Device modules clearly work but the patch isn't flexible enuf too allow substitution. :(
 
What about patching with the A590 scsi module (if there is such a thing) would that be possible?

The scsi. Device on ks1.3 already supports scsi like that found on the a590.

What it doesn't support is the Gayle ide used in the a600 and a1200.
 
The gayle emulation isn't 100% complete. For example it doesn't distinguish between 16 and 8 bit transfer IIRC.
Also there were cpld configurations with definite glitches, HDD drives would not work (presumably because of extra iow ior pulses) but Cf cards shouldn't work either but they did.
On v401 / v402 boards you should check if xilinx cpld user code is "4025" with jtag cable and software.
 
I'm running kipper's combo ram ide board in one of my a500's and the patched Rom doesn't work on that either.
 
The creditcard section of gayle is not emulated. Cpld code may need to be updated to make the adapter tell there is no creditcard(pcmcia) installed.
 
Tbh it's prolly easier for someone to just patch ks1.3 with the scsi. Device from an a500 ks3.1 Rom.
