Hello all. I am considering making relatively simple PCBs to allow one to use an IDE hard drive over the PCMCIA interface (this would requre an external power supply for the HDD) and a CompactFlash to PCMCIA adaptor (the CF card would be used in "TrueIDE" mode). I'm also considering an IDE to PCMCIA interface which would physically contain laptop size 2.5" HDD. I've successfully been able to get an ARM Linux kernel ID an IDE hard drive on my Brutus board with one adaptor I made, however it is not near reliable, hence the desire to make a PCB. To cut the cost of th boards, I'd like to offer them to anyone else here who wants one (@cost). Please let me know if you are interested. I have not yet finished making the design or finished getting quotes. These adaptors are passive and I have the pinouts available. If someone else has access to PCB making facilities, please let me know. The layout would be something like a PCMCIA surface mount connector, an IDE surface mount connector and traces ~12mils wide with 12mils spacing. Thanks, Vasant. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for ++ ++ kernel-related discussions. ++
