Dual Slot CF to IDE?

Echo Pox · 14 September 2020, 05:42

Has anyone used one of these cards/adaptors on an amiga? Is it safe? Been looking at this one.

I have one and could not make it work with the Amiga. The primary card would work fine, but the second card would not be recognized properly. When I tested it out in a PC, it would work just fine. Perhaps I could have done something to make it work, but I gave up at the time and just went with a bigger single CF card.

You could try a TrueIDE.

I don't think they work as true master/slave, I'm sure I had the same results as above mentioned. Although I never tested with an updated scsi device

Thanks all, it would make a nice addition. But oh well.
