Hi all
I recently got one of these SD to CF adapters ('Sintechi hightspeed SD to CF adapter v1.0' is that is shows in the BIOS). It works when it is the only thing connected to either of the IDE cables, but as soon as I want to introduce anything else I.e. CD drive, into the mix those items I add can not be seen.
For example:
SD to CF on IDE 1
CD set to master and on IDE 2 - Not visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 2 - Not visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 1 - Not visible
SD to CF on IDE 2
CD set to master and on IDE 1 - Not visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 1 - Not visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 2 - Not visible
Remove SD to CF
CD set to master and on IDE 2 - visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 2 - visible
CD set to slave and on IDE 1 - visible
CD set to master and on IDE 1 - visible
Nothing else will work on either IDE channel if the SD to CF adapter is being used. As soon as I disconnect teh SD to CF adapter everything else works first time.
I tried with multiple drives, all with the same result. The adapter does not have any jumper settings which might be part of the problem. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-6BXC if that is any help.
Does anyone know of a SD to CF that will actually place nice with other components that I can get in the UK? One that I can easily mount in the case would be a bonus. I don't want to get another random one in case I waste more time/money and have the same issue again.
Thanks for any help.
