Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
I quickly wrote a couple of crappy testing tools earlier..
Version 1 constantly saves and loads 512bytes (one sector) and verifies the data is correct.
The second version, writes about 50MB of data, then reads it back and verifies it.
Nothing so far has tripped up or got corrupted :)

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
Testing has continued with different adaptors and the board hasn’t tripped yet.
I call this one the SD to IDE hair grip model as it’s held neatly in place with a couple of my daughters hair grips. Hey use what you can find to get the job done. :D

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
Picked up a SD card earlier today it seems to be happy...
Currently I have tested CF, Seagate 3.5" brick drive, SD card.
I have some more brands of CF coming this week to try out..
The only issue I found so far is that a old 1GB sandisk does not AutoBoot.. But I guess it could have bad bits. :shrug:

Looking good.
Although, the post name needs retitling now :-)

Almost looking like a disco :D with all the LEDs flashing away. Just need to add in the mirror ball. :)

Re: exxos IDE interface (untested)
You could change one of those LEDs to an RGB type and use them for 3 purposes? It's what I've done with my Gotek and Ultrasatan on the Mega
