[DuoList] 2300c IDE Bus Questions (Keegan van der Laag)

[Joe]

No chump question there, I tried this very thing.  Unfortunately I found in
my experience that the Duo only recognized one of the two drives attached to
the CF adaptor.  Turns out it cannot address a slave drive on the IDE, if
anyone can find a work around for this I would love to know about it.

Good luck, if anyone finds a way around this please post the info to this
list.

All right, I'm going to be the chump here. I'm sorry to be asking so 
many questions about the 2300c and its IDE voodoo. I did, however, get 
the CF-IDE adapter I was playing with to work in my 2300c, and this is a 
good first step.

Next, though, I'm curious as to whether or not the Duo's controller is 
capable of addressing a slave device on the bus. Particularly, I'm 
thinking the Addonics Dual CF to IDE adapter. Has anyone tried? Does 
anyone know how the 2300c treats its IDE bus? I've looked around a 
bunch, but it doesn't seem like much has been investigated regarding 
this issue. The other alternative is that it was investigated a long 
time ago and it was discovered that this sort of thing isn't possible, 
and the issue never came up again. Please feel free to tell me off if 
this is the case.

Someone might suggest to me that I use the SCSI bus in addition to the 
IDE bus - this may be an option, but only if I can find the requisite 
SCSI to IDE adapter. This is a pretty specific thing.

Thanks!
Keegan
