Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this product in place of a standard 3. Floppy disk drive with a capacity of 5"?

No, it only functions as a replacement for an ide hard drive.

Is it possible to use two of them, one as a master and the other as a slave? Is it possible to use only one IDE cable?

There are no jumpers or DIP switches for Master/Slave/CS, so I don't believe that's the case.

What happens if the computer uses chs instead of lba addressing? (I don't mind if I can't use the entire large SD card)?

It is possible that you will need to partition/format the SD card to whatever your system supports, but it should still work. I've got these in a couple of systems (486 Dos and Win98) and they're great. For older machines, it is worthwhile to invest in a good "industrial" SD card.

How do I set up master and slave so that I can use two of them on the same ide port?

There isn't a way around it. Some drives may auto-detect and become slave (on some drives, I believe this is a Drive Select jumper setting). Otherwise, master, in my opinion.

This will be ideal for converting an IDE system to a bootable SD card

5/5

I have a server that will not boot from a USB drive, so my only options are IDE (PATA) or SATA. I need to keep the SATA for a specific reason, so IDE is the best option. Using USB adapters, SD images can now be easily burned. As a result, this device is fantastic.

That is precisely what I was looking for! It was used to repair a DOS machine from 1989

In the rush of San Francisco, this is fantastic

5/5

In the normal SD slot on the PC, I flashed the SD card. In SF Rush, I moved to this card and got it to work on the first try.

For older computers, this is an excellent HDD replacement

5/5

I've used these before to replace hard drives in older computers and they work great. br>I'm running it on a 486dx2 DOS/Win 3 machine. For best results, use it with a good, high-quality SD card, especially if using it on older computers. br>Make sure to pair it with a good, high-quality SD card.
