AtariGuy Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Anyone find a good 2.5" drive to use with MyIDE? I've tried 3, and none work with it. I'd like to use one so I can mount it inside an 800xl, and there's not much room in there. Anyone have any luck with this?

jon-paul Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Conner work best with Amiga's in my experiance The Spectrum 128+3e project has made a list of what works with their machines here:- http://www.zxplus3e.plus.com/compatible.html and the not happy drives are listed here:- http://www.zxplus3e.plus.com/incompatible.html Considering the tech etc that we are dealing with i should suspect simmilar results.

Goochman Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Try some Quantum drives though I could only get a 5 1/4 Bigfoot mech to work - the Fireball one I tried 'almost' worked but was flaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFonck Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I've been discussing this with Mr.Atari and he claims most of them should work though I have tried many 2,5" disks and none of them worked, though my homebuilt MyIDE interface does work fine with 3,5" disks. I think it's time for some action and I will try to make an appointment with Mr.Atari to see if we can solve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGuy Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 I think it might be my ide adaptor...because i can't get these hard drives to work in a PC either. But on another note, I did get an IDE to CF adaptor, and it works with MyIDE. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21570 I'm ordering another 2.5" IDE adaptor today...and keep you posted.

Goochman Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 So the Compact Flash card worked - interesting............That appears to be the way to go - let me know if the 2nd one works and where to get them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
