Re: [emax] Re: My Emax II wont find my new CF internal CARD READER

If you look at the database on the group you would find what converters are
known to work with what.

That IDE to SCSI bridge may work. but the fact it says ATAPI makes me think
it won't (except maybe with a Zip drive).

To use an IDE to PC Card drive, we know an ACARD 7220U works to convert the
SCSI to IDE.
The ACARD 7220U is not an ATAPI only bridge and works with HD, CD, and Zip.
I have one and tested it with a generic IDE PC Card drive also.
It worked with all of them in my testing.
While I haven't tried a "bare bones" IDE CF adapter like you show, in
conjunction with that ACARD bridge you would have the highest probability of
working.
This other brand bridge I just don't know.
If you get the bridge, and the IDE CF doesn't work- you may wish to test it
with an ATAPI Zip drive (if you have one) just to see if it works so we on
the group would know and could add it to the database.
If it is known not to work, we could add that info too.

If you still can't get it working you can send me your pieces parts and I
can see if I can get it working in an Emax 1.
If it works in Emax 1 it should work in Emax 2.
Regards,
Ted
