CF Card in IDE/ATA mode with Mega32
2004-06-14 by achargis
I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times and prolly done two dozen but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I have quite a few CF cards laying around from the 16 to 256mb range and would like to put them to use. According the AVR Lib's ata.c library this is in the works with some "Some minimal address decoding hardware". Schematic to come soon... Anyone have an idea as to what this might look like? Also where would be a good place to come up with the carrier boards? I've looked at the IDE2CF board but am not sure (no good pictures found yet) if it is easily hackable or not. Another company (E-Lab) puts out an SPI version of an adapter that looks quite simple to use? Any experience with this one or anyone know if it would be compatable with the ata.c libraries? Thanks, Jeremy Darling
