Interfacing ADFS to IDE devices

Title Version Date Files Size Description
IDEPatch 1.17 23-Feb-2005 IDEPatch.zip 25K Patch for ADFS 1.50 to access up to two IDE hard drives as four logical ADFS drives. Also includes the patch to preserve directory context on Control-Break. Note that version 1.52 erroneously mapped all four ADFS drives onto the same physical hard drive.

SCSItoIDE 1.00 15-Nov-2005 SCSItoIDE 6K Raw sector-copy program to transfer an Acorn SCSI hard drive to an IDE drive. You must use an IDE interface where you can change the hardware address, and set the address to &FC50 instead of the usual &FC40 so both the SCSI and IDE interfaces can be used. Once the transfer is done the SCSI interface can be removed, and the IDE interface address returned to &FC40.

I initially developed this patch using an emulated IDE device and Warm Silence's 6502Em. I then finalised the development using a hardware IDE interface.

I am intending to add RAM-Card support as well, supporting byte-wide RAM cards, such as Sprow's, and MMC cards, such as John Kortink's GoMMC.
