Morning all,
Here's a conundrum, spent a week trying to convert a Wyse V50 with the PCMCIA and SD Slot, Motherboard and spec looks like a V50L.
because of space issues, only option seems like a Vertical SSD DOM, which are a bit over priced. so making more space by using an extension. Which has thrown up sone strange results.
2 questions become obvious.
1' what does an IDE Gender Changer Do the pin configuration. (It's only basically long pins on a matrix pin 1 to Pin 1 Etc.)
2' Whats the internal difference between a Sata DOM and a Hard Drive
Fitting Storage device Status Notes
Direct on board Original vertical DOM 44pin 128Mb Working
44 pin IDE Cable /Gender changer Original vertical DOM 44pin 128Mb Not Working
44 pin IDE Cable /Gender changer Right Angle DOM 44Pin 1gb Not Working
44 pin IDE Cable /Gender changer Right angle CF Adaptor and Card Not Working Works on newer Clients (Rather basic, Jumper / LED)
44 pin IDE Cable Quality CF Adaptor and Card Working Seems to work with everything Has Voltage regulator, Jumper and LED
44 pin IDE Cable / Sata Bridge Sata DOM 16Gb Not Working (Mother boards sometime sees it on fresh boot disapers on reboot, Hangs when trying to access )
44 pin IDE Cable / Sata Bridge SATA 64Gb 2.5In SSD Working
External SSD I Thinks the preferred option.
Any ideas?
I Like Charity Shops, they're like steam and GOG but cheaper.
