Possible SATA option in IDE based Amiga's?

Paul_s · 31 July 2008, 13:49

I came across this little adapter yesterday...

For the non-flash people out there maybe or use it with a cd-rom and ditch those annoying ribbon cables?

I like the idea of eSATA on an Amiga

alexh · 31 July 2008, 15:09

Chances are I (and a team) designed the chip at the heart of that board.

looks very interesting! if only it had 2 sata ports...

keropi · 31 July 2008, 15:19

wow, THIS one seems to have 2 connectors....

hmm.... 2.5" SATA hd and SATA dvdr... hmmmm

@Keropi

I have a couple of those, this wont work as its not a HOST controller, our dear Alexh would be able to point you to a nice HOST controller

[edit]
Red ones from Post #4

it won't work? how come? it just plugs to the IDE port and converts it to sata...
a lot better inside an A4000D crammed with heat-producing accelerators...
I am tempted (if it works that is) to replace the scsi csppc setup I have on one of my A4000D's ... I might even replace the other that is IDE based...

we have a saying in Turkish which goes like 'don't get off your horse to get on a donkey' sounds much better in the original language though

don't you do that keropi san.

why not? I have no use for the ~22mb/s that the csppc scsi controller can deliver. I simply don't care. plus both my IDE and SCSI ppc_a4000's boot OS3.9 at almost the same time ... and although both are stuffed with goodies, I just play games in them , I only upgraded them because I could and because I like exotic hardware combos LOL
for me, the small sata cables are more important than speed, a csppc A4000D is way to crammed...

coze · 31 July 2008, 17:08

so you're telling me you don't have round scsi cables in Greece ?

alexh · 31 July 2008, 19:33

I would be surprised if ours work fine with the Amiga... but you never know.

I am 100% sure we never did any ATA 0 : PIO 0 testing

ATA 5 : PIO 4 is the closest we come to testing the mode the Amiga would use.

keropi · 31 July 2008, 20:06

@coze: trust me, it is crammy inside, even with this same scsi rounded cable that I have... I fear the heat...

Hey folks, what's up with this thing then? Has anyone tested? Results?
