EXXOS IDE V1.1 R1C BUILD & INSTALL INFORMATION

@JezC Can I suggest that you may want to get some longish 44 pin IDE cables, as it gives you a bit of flexibility when it comes to positioning of any drives you're going to use.

@rubber_jonnie Good idea - did you find a reasonable source for them?

I'm wondering how long they may need to be now...

@JezC I bought 8 inch cables from eBay, plus a 2.5" one from exxos. He also has cheap CF adapters.

The short ones are more suited to the A1200.

@rubber_jonnie Great - I will ahe a look at those.

I think the only one I have 'spare' is the one from my defunct Falcon internal IDE drive & I'm hoping to re-use that with the CF card & adapter in the Falcon...in the meantime, it has an external 1GB SCSI drive connected

I've seen the bits in the store...just worried that I need to upgrade my version of HD Driver to work with CF cards (something like v4.52 I think) - and I probably need to find my original disc to be able to buy the upgrade at the reduced price

[rubber_jonnie]

Yeah, HDDRIVER is v11, so you're a bit behind!

If you email I believe he keeps track of all customers names or just have your serial number. Your version may be as old as the Atari.

Yes, probably last updated it in the late 90s for the Falcon to work with a SCSI CD or something...

I think I bought it (and the upgrades) from System Solutions at an Atari show so I think he wants to see a photo of the original disc...I have a backup copy to hand but not yet found the original disc

Diode LED1 what voltage (3.3V or 5V)?

5V is what I used IIRC.

[dragmar]

IDE V1.1 R1C - LED 5V?

Do you also need to use PLD connections in this board?
