I don't know how well that works in practise. Afaik that is a part of the CF standard and shouldn't cause any problems with most cards. > The XTIDE adapters work round it by using a buffer for the other 8 > bits, converting that hardware to a PET should be pretty easy & any > parallel ATA (or technically a SATA with an adapter) will work. But not worth the effort with a mechanical disk, as even only using half the capacity will be enough for any disk you'll find in the junk box. > You might want to get it working with PIO before trying DMA, because > that is a whole new world of pain. You will not gain anything by using the various "DMA" modes on an IDE/CF disk with a 1MHz 6502 system as the disk is faster than the computer even in the disks slowest mode. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
