Im the "lucky" owner of an old ARCHOS 24x Pcmcia cdrom.
and last night i took it apart (to bored ) and yes, as expected it was a
100% standard ATAPI Drive..
And Clever as i can be. i thought What would stop me from
hacking it to do for a harddrive insted!
there is no "intelligence" in the PCB inside the cdrom case,
so alle conversion needed is made in the pcmcia card.
Does any of you know about PCMCIA - IDE controllers / adapters?
i know that CF cards are pcmcia compatible, but aparently they run as "memorycard" when in pcmca?
Is it posible to more or les directly hook up a harddrive to pcmcia?
Pinouts of this conversion?
Any input??
