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?
