Oh no... I am gutted.
A few months back, I came across a SCSI-IDE Adapter, this allowed me to use IDE Drives in my TT.
I have also got Compact Flash IDE Adaptors that let me use a Compact Flash IDE Card as a basic small Hard Drive.
Now, its only a matter of time before I had to try to knock them up, and bugger me, they work... So, my STE was running a 64MB compact Flash card through the IDE Adaptor connected to the SCSI Adaptor.
For somethign like 8 months now, I have been under the impresion that this is somthing only I had done?
Obviously not.
What a git.
Anyway, my TT and my STE are now fully converted to Compact Flash card storage and I no longer have ANY HDs at all in the Atari's... They are not really any faster, which is a shame, but they do work on both the Atari ST and the TT, and they work through both the ACSI and the SCSI of the TT, and they are fully compatible with any HD Driver I have cared to try out... AHDI, HDDriver, CBHD and SDDriver.
The TT conversion was fairly simple, having the SCSI connection inside the Case, but the STE one was a bit of a bugger... I need the TopLink,so I was going to have that internal, and solder where needed directly to the port, but I could not be arsed to work out all the junk as I also needed CDROM access too, so I just added it to the External PC/AT Case.
Ah well, I have gone on about it on a completely unrelated post, so I will go now.
