IDE68K and A500

DyLucke · 21 February 2010, 01:08

Hi there, i've recently acquired one of these IDE68K adapters, concretelly the v106 version. I've checked the homepage for some info about how to install it, but i still have some doubts.

It's clear for me how and where i should take power to feed the IDE68k adapter, but i have no clue about where should i get the power to feed the 3'5" CF-IDE i plan to put there.

Any idea?

Thanks!

After do this mod to get the two lacking signals from motherboard, just split the floppy power cable and get +5V from there.

Too far away? Get it directly from the Amiga power connector (use a multimeter to find where +5V and ground are).

BTW: the "1" mark in the photo is GND! The pin on its side is +5V. CHECK WITH A MULTIMETER FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would be good with some ordering info and homepage link? For posterity

The adaptor is from Mika Leilonen, from Finland (near enough to you, mate?).

Just wondered what 'recently aquired' meant, as I've emailed him with no answer

Mika, sell me one, will ya?

They were €50 you know. Tad expensive considering you could get at least two A600's for that price.

They are great devices if you can find one, had one but it refused to work with my turbo board, sold it back to another Finish guy

Just dropped in from 11 years in the future, A500s are going for £250 and A600s similar.

Should have hoarded even more back in the 00's. ;-)

Nobody is paying those prices though? I'm certainly not.

Last time I sold an A1200 030 it went for over 800 euro. Turnkey system though.
