Closed Spectrum IDE Adpaters (Rev 3.1C)

[emilen72]

hi, I'm interest in one or two of this... they are available?

I have send you a PM with request on some clarifications on use this with Pera's 8Bit CF and in general how to modify an IDE adapter for work with a CF card forced into 8bit Memory Mode... can you help me in this mod?

many thanks

Gents,
I spoke to Keith about updates for you all on Sunday. He is aware and apologises for any delay but I know for a fact that he has been very busy with one thing and another.
He is very thorough, and reliable, and I am sure he will be along shortly and be in contact with you all.

I would like a refund if possible, I have spent to much on retro

I am sorry all, I have been away from the bay for a bit and its all gotten a little bit crazy / busy so I am playing hard-core catchup - which sounds like a great title for an Android game - sadly not so much fun to be on the end of it.

I am trying to catchup with lots of little projects that need completing, please bare with me.

Thanks for the kind words K6dude


Sadly I no longer have any more IDE adapters, but I will be making some new ones soon.

@Zetr0
Have you any details about the changes needed to the CF interface to force them into memory mode?

Hello my friend,

Yes indeed I have - (click here)

The Adapter is wired identically however you will need to set the solder jumpers over to Pera's version


(click to zoom)

You will need to alter the IDE-CF adapter to pull up (+5v) specific lines on the CF connector

Pins 13, 32, 34, 35, 38 and 44 - I believe that most 13 - 38 are already vcc - just need to unsolder pin 44 from the 50pin connector from the board and hold it high (tie it to vcc) as well.

You will also need Pera's 8bit +3e CF ROM(s) set for the +2AB and +3 as well.

that should be it.
