I saw that Krugtech posted about it in computer forum with no responses, so hoping he made some headway. We have old Photon Lasers with Anorad CNC2000 controllers operating on Dos 6.22. I am looking at a SD-CF-IDE-DI IDE to CF Adaptor hoping it can be formatted and used as if it was an old Hard drive.

Anyone have any luck witrh this? I have sucessfully used the USB Floppy emulators to replace the floppys which work great.

It is fairly cheap, so I am going to order one, just curious if anyone has already defeated this.

You can still buy IDE drives on eBay.

Or there's this: which claims to go both ways

get a IDE Disk On Module SLC is more reliable, MLC is cheaper, as for horizontal/vertical look how much room you have to plug it in

get one about the same size as the present drive as some controllers wont recognize bigger ones. Now vote me up!laser ninja, footstrap and msandoval are damn good, but I'm better!
