IDE is a 'native IBM PC(lone) interface', having most of the controller/host adapter functions on the motherboard of those machines. It is not easily adapted to SCSI opreration, if at all. It is a completely different interface. The only way to connect one of these, that I know of, is with the GVP '030 board, or an A590, both of which have an IDE interface. -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

I have seen a 200 megbyte Conner drive with a IDE interface, for an IBM. I have never heard of this interface type. Can this be made to connect to a SCSI port on a GVP controller or any AMiga SCSI controller for that matter? /

IDE ist sometime called AT-INTERFACE. I think it's a conner 209, if it's that there is also a SCSI version of the HD Best Regards, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jean-Marc PORCHET 301, Mandement street Organisation: Dynamic Computer CH-1281 Russin SWITZERLAND UUCP: cbmswi!dynam!jmpor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, can't be connected to a SCSI host adapter directly, but GVP's '030 accelerator boards have an AT (= IDE) interface (might be considered a somewhat expensive hard disk controller, though :-).

The disk that comes with the A590 has an IDE interface. You cannot just plug an IDE drive into the external connector, because that is a SCSI port. -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

I just recently took a visit with the owner of Panamax (I can't remember the name off hand). He has a product that will interface IBM controller cards to the Amiga Bus (500/1000/2000/3000) seamlessly. He's beenorking with the IDE drives but has found some variances between them to make it difficult to apply the same driver to all IDE drives. For the benefit of finding a low cost HD solution for me I loaned him my Conner 200MB drive w/IDE interface to work out a minor problem he had with it while I was working with him. The product he offers as a whole appears to be very solid. If anyone is interested in the progress of my Conner with this interface E-mail me and I'll post it along with the Spec Sheet for his controller... srm -- Scott R.
