Ah yes - that makes sense.
... or presumably any other card of the same size?
Qubide certainly needs a device there at bootup.
The same also applies to any system (I am sure) where the device is
connected as a std IDE device, as this CF adaptor is.
I have two hard disks on my QL BBS system. Nasta I know made a cable to
connect more than two hard disks (I used it for a while) but I don't
think, Nasta, it was reliable was it?
It would be great to use my CF on the BBS.
Any ideas?
