rietveld Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have a standard IDE hard drive as well as a ZIP100, and a SyQuest What other IDE Adam drives are floating around in peoples collections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 You’ve pretty much covered then all accept the single and dual IDE Compact Flash Adapters that are part of the IDE packages sold by ADAMcon/MicroFox: ann.hollowdreams.com Repurposing a Coleco Disk Drive case is a great option especially if the power circuitry on the disk drive controller board is working properly and other parts like the drive mechanics are not. A Gotek drive is an alternative option, as you know, if the controller board is 100% functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rietveld Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 I reveresed the Gotek drive swap I did last year when I found a working drive mechanism. I pulled the Gotek out and swapped in a working 5 1/4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rietveld Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I saw is post awhile ago and thought the same thing. I heard he was making a run of those custom faceplates but never saw if he actually did If I got ahold of one I may do the Gotek again but for now I am using it in my K Pro Edited October 29, 2022 by rietveld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGDiRocco Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I was hoping for a plate as well but I know he has been busy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another broken drive to use as a donor for a GOTEK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
