E-Max I and CF card issues what am i doing wrong?

2010-06-21 by tstimac02

I just can't get this thing working.

I bought one of these SCSI->IDE converters:

And a standard internal CF card reader (IDE). You can see them on the pic here:

Connected everything. When i go to Format, it says Formating Disk for about 5 seconds, then it says writing a bank (or something) and hangs that way forever. In fact it does that even when nothing is connected to SCSI. 

You can see here that scsi cable is normally connected:

Difficult to see on pic, but red stripe is on the left side of the cable (which means connected properly).


I've became suspicious about this IDE card reader. I put it in the PC but couldn't have BIOS recognize it properly. Maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for any input!!
