IDE to CF

Hello!

I have a question about storage device.

If I install a "CF-to-IDE Adapter" on the proto2 (40pin IDE socket) of EP2C35 ,

Pins assignment have been change to proto2.

Then may I store data to CF card?

If it is workable ,

and I send a signal of ATAPI(IDE) to proto2 .

May I use hot-plugging (or Hot Swap) ?

    I think it should work with ATA and ATAPI. The CF works at "true IDE mode".

    And the CF has power on/off control. Hot-swap can be supported.

    You can use uclinux to drive them.

    You should also check the CF IP in,
