Just a update....As much as i try I fear there is no way of having a second IDE channel on the TF536 rev 2b....I've tried a buffered IDE splitter...as soon ad you plug anything into it...there's no boot.....no luck with a AlphaData AT-Bus..with rom or Octapussy.

Two drives work for me on one long cable on a buffered TF536. I tried with my CF adapter as slave and it then booted to the SDcard on the sdcard adapter on the same cable.

Mark would you like me to add buffers to yours?

Just on this, for anyone adding a second device on the IDE chain...Mark Sealey wrote: ↑Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:06 pm Just a update....As much as i try I fear there is no way of having a second IDE channel on the TF536 rev 2b....I've tried a buffered IDE splitter...as soon ad you plug anything into it...there's no boot.....no luck with a AlphaData AT-Bus..with rom or Octapussy.
Check the IDE/CF adapter, if the underside has solder pads then it is likely to be configured for a master and slave on that card, and anything else you add to the bus will conflict with the slave part of the IDE/CF adapter. If it has solder pads, even though nothing is soldered to it, the device is still configured with an active slave. Tip: the Chinese IDE/CF adapters generally DO have empty solder pads underneath and ARE configured for master/slave.
I got caught out on this, pulled my hair out for some time. I then found a CF adapter that was purely master only, and BOOM she worked
