Was just curious if anyone has had any luck with either of these cards before? Just recently installed a cheap IDE to CF adapter & no ATAPI option found under SHIFT+3 while using the off brand 1gb card...
I haven't received the second card yet but I read on gearslutz "Buy older industrial cards off eBay, they have the true IDE/UDMA tech on the cards." so I am hoping this will do the trick!
This is the IDE to CF chip I'm trying to use

So far I have tried all jumper settings on OS 1.14 & OS 1.20 with the 1gb card, I have also tried formatted as FAT & FAT32 both the full 1gb & then a 512mb partition with the rest unallocated space & no luck any which way...
the adapter i'm trying to use can plug directly into the motherboard & I also have a 40 pin male to female ribbon cable that can complete the connection as well, I cant put the bottom plate back on when the adapter is plugged directly into the motherboard tho...
for power I am using the 4 pin molex that was connected to my floppy drive,
the adapter has 3 indicator lights, "detect" & "power" are always lit up when the mpc is powered on,
while in slave mode the middle indicator labeled "Active" Stays lit,
I noticed while in master the middle LED labeled "Active" will light up for a split second when powered on using OS 1.20 vs remaining completely dead using OS 1.14 making me think the mpc is at least seeing the adapter in 1.20 but not liking the card i'm using so no ATAPI option under SHIFT+3
Have been through many threads on the topic & I do think the CF card is the determining factor when it comes to ATAPI popping up under SHIFT+F3 but not 100% sure
Will update once my 2nd card arrives in the meantime has anyone had any luck with either of those CF cards? Was also wondering if anyone has got one of the cheaper adapters without the housing to work?
