6.4.7 IDE Flash Drive IDE Flash Drives
Has anyone tried to use an IDE Flash Drives in a Falcon? I'm
thinking of replacing the measly 65MB drive in my Falcon and would it
seems like a flash drive would be a great idea, if it worked. It would
be quite, fast and have no moving parts.
I tried a 128mb and 256mb SanDisk IDE flash drives in my hades,
with no success. It just would not see the drives correctly as master
or slave. I ended up reselling them on ebay.
The SCSI flash drives that take media work on my hades, even
booted from one for fun, totally silent boot up, it was neat. However
the speed of the scsi transfers is much lower. I have a 880mb pcmcia
card that I use strictly for backups on my hades.
As long as it is 2.5" IDE drive not bigger than 6 or 8 Gb
(since TOS can't "see" partitions after P...) it should
work. I use Toshiba 6 Gb drive which works reather fine 3.5" IDE
drives should also work but then it would be good idea to recase the
Falcon to PC tower.
HDDrive accept these devices.
