Afternoon fellow Amigians,

I recently purchased a 16Gb pre-setup DOM (Disk-on-Module) in replacement to my current CF/SD card setup for my A1200:

Ebay - 16gb DOM

This works a treat, runs quick and flawlessly. My head-scratching issue is I want to create a backup of the entire DOM device via a Raw 1:1 copy using my PC (currently using HDD Raw Copy), which I have used/done in the past with my SD/CF card - Purley for piece of mind, should I tinker beyond the point of no return..!:Doh:

So the DOM 16gb card is a 44pin IDE connector...I've looked around trying to see if I can get something like a 44pin Female to Female adapter. Followed by one of these SATA/IDE>USB backup devices floating around from China (if this actually would work).

My question is, has anyone managed to get a system setup in order to do this themselves or can anyone point me in the direction of hardware to do what I purpose?

All always, many thanks for any assistance in advance!!

Cheers Chris.:D
 
Hi Chris,

I use DOM for my A600/1200.

The main thing to watch out for is that they dont like being on cables or adapters, as the pinout needs to be changed to do that (you may have already run into this issue if you tried to do any setup in UAE)

I had to buy a small pcb to change the pinout to make it work on a cable here:

Other than that, once its connected to your machine (i use a 44pin usb caddy) you should be able to iage it like any other device.
 
The above should work, just make sure you connect it all the right way round or else you will fry it.

I used this adapter with my SSD (it's IDE and the adapter goes to USB2)

Note you can get them a lot cheaper from China if you don't mind to wait.

You can follow my old guide below for making an image or backup using WinUAE direct to folders or HDF's:

The same would work with the female to female adapter above, again make sure the orientation is correct!

Good Luck :)
