Here's my goal. I made hardware that connects to any computer with special software via an RS-232 serial connection. The problem is, serial ports exist only on older computers yet I still want to access the old hardware with today's computers. In order to do that, I needed something super compact …

I've attached the adapter with CF card to cover with hot glue (and maybe zip locks) Hassle, but still much cheaper then finding DOMs with higher capacities :) ... And good luck with that particular thin client, two of them died on me for no reason, one day they worked, and then just... didn't :/ …

This one looks simpler. would this work if the unit was plugged in the right way? and I'm curious as to if the machine would close back up again. Otherwise I should probably do the cable approach https://www.ebay.ca/itm/x5pcs-Compact-Flash-CF-to-2-5-IDE-44Pin-44-PIN-Straight-Type-Female-DOM-adapter/ …

By default VX0 uses small DOM connected directly to IDE on the motherboard. I did unplug the card once and i found out it was made by apacer What you need is: 44pin 2.5" IDE ribbon cable, 2.5" 44pin CF/IDE adapter, and CF card of your choice, preferably "industrial grade". And for the capacity - I …
