IndusGT Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Does anyone have these ? Any feedback ? As the owner of 2 black boxes with floppy boards, I'm always on the lookout for something with a smaller footprint. https://thebrewingacademy.com/collections/atari-800-xl-xe-xel-xld/products/xxx2cf3-compactflash-hdd-without-using-the-cartridge-port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 avg cart/myide/ and the SIDE carts should all get you what you need as well, either using the sofware SIDE drivers or in combination with either a u1m/ or incognito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I use an eci to pbi with two cart slots so I still have one open... I can see the advantage for PBI slots though... I've heard good things about that adaptor there is also the kmk style IDE plus pbi drives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndusGT Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Anyone have one of these, would be nice to see a picture of the setup screen(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Simius'/drac030's IDE+2 is more flexible IMO, but may no longer be available. Rev e & f were nearly as small. Rev d a little bigger, but still way smaller than the BB. But you're right -- the setup screen(s) should be quite helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Read the description carefully. This device requires a driver in the form of the U1MB XEL-CF PBI BIOS, or the XEL-CF driver for SpartaDOS X. It works exactly like the Compact Flash adapter on the SIDE2/Incognito. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hi Jon- Without an U1MB, one couldn't use any other dos besides SDX? (And with an U1MB, one could?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly like any other hard disk adapter which isn't IDE Plus 2.0 or some other PBI device with on-board drivers. If you use the xxx2cf3 adapter with the XEL firmware and plugins on an U1MB machine, you can use any DOS you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this ( Simius'/drac030's IDE+2 ) work with Mydos ? Also, thanks everyone for your responses.
