Kchula-Rrit Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Don't know if this is the right place to ask... I have a box full of old IDE disk drives that I've piled-up over the years. They are mostly from the 1990s and use the cylinder/head/sector addressing, so they probably wouldn't work with Shift838's IDE controller. Not sure how many of them still work; they did when I put them away. Would they be of any use to anyone, or are they just dead weight?

+OLD CS1 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 They are useful to someone, though a lot with IDE are using CF or SD adapters. Besides our IDE card, there are IDE interfaces for most classic computers, including Amiga (built into the 4000, 1200, and 600,) and Commodore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather someone have them, instead of just tossing them. I cannot ethically ask for money, since I don't know if they work, or how reliable they might be. Videofx may be interested in them, so others may be, as you said. A message in the Commodore forum may be in order. K-R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
