PFonck Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I finally managed to get my homebuilt MyIDE circuit stable. The trick was to use faster F-series chips instead of the normal LS-series. Thanks to Mr.Atari for his support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Looks cool Can you say something about the different of your solution and die Sio2IDE interface? (http://www.atari.cuprum.com.pl/sio2ide.htm). Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFonck Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 It isn't -my- solution, I just built my own version of Mr.Atari who "invented it". But I can tell you why I built a MyIDE circuit instead of a SIO2IDE solution... simplicity of the circuit. And it does everything I want from it too... play game images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Simplicity is allway good... Can you tell me how many mb (gb?) the IDE/Dos can handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFonck Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 DOS partitions have a maximum of 65535 hi-density sectors which equals 16MB (I don't know exactly how many partitions/drives MyDOS supports). But when you run uut of drives you can fill the rest of the drive with disk images. A 20GB disk can hold 10GB of data because the Atari is ofcourse 8-bit and the IDE disk is 16-bit.

Schmutzpuppe Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 One more question, have you ever tried to replace the 74LS04 with a 74HCT04? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFonck Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 Nope... I suspect that's a faster one also? Older harddisks will work with the F-series but modern disks need faster chips to get them stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Nope... I suspect that's a faster one also? Yep, it's also faster (than LS), i'll give it a try (much easier to get than the F chips for me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Nope... I suspect that's a faster one also? Yep' date=' it's also faster (than LS), i'll give it a try (much easier to get than the F chips for me).[/quote'] HCT also draws a fraction of the power. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbaeza Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi Does anybody know if a 74HC04 and a 74HC32 solve the problems that LS series chip have with MYIDE? HC chips is all I can get, no F's around here...

PFonck Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Why don't you just try? It won't break anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
