Dear All,
I'm going to install a QUBIDE interface on my original QL with SuperGold Card, Minerva and SuperHermes installed.
I would like to know if is possible to use a CF Card instead of an EIDE HD. I bought a 40 pin IDE to CF Adapter... Before starting I would like to know if I need to power the CF board itself, or if the QL power is enough (obviously without the 68008 processor)..
Thanks in advance for your kindly support !
Kind regards,
Massimino
QUBIDE with CF Card
Re: QUBIDE with CF Card
I have done this so I do know it works. I did not have to provide separate power to the CF board. There is 5V supplied by the interface. Your interface board may be different, but usually they're passive since CF cards talk IDE ATA-6.

Thanks!
I will try as soon as I receive the CF adpter.

It was needed to provide separate power for the IDE to CF adapter ..

Re: QUBIDE with CF Card
I didn't know you could still buy these. My MinisQL has a Qubide but its hard disk died some time ago and I never bothered to replace it. I will need to test if there is room in the MinisQL case to install one of these devices, it will be an interesting and different way to replace the hard disk if I can get a device with a right angle connection, or perhaps a short extension cable from the qubide.genetika wrote:Hi.

Hi.
CF to IDE (ANGLED with direct connection on the board)
http://www.titanwirelessonline.com/CF-t ... f-ider.htm
Also 2 inch IDE 40 PIN cables are available ( to use with a normal CF to IDE adapter ):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-inch-40-Pin-M ... 0666596825
You can also change the FLOPPY DRIVE with a Floppy Emulator :
http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=42
Otherwise, if you want to sell your "broken" MiniQL ... I'm here!
ps.. I don't understand well the use of the directories ..
For example ..
If I have a floppy with some files on the root directory, to move these files to an HD directory I need to use the following command :
WCOPY FLP1_ TO WIN1_DIRECTORY_
Is it correct?
How is possible to remove a directory or remove its contents?
Thanks in advance!!!

Yes the WCOPY command is correct - however, it does not create a directory as such (ie, DIR win1_ will show every file, including those in directories),
eg.
WIN1_boot
WIN1_test_bas
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_bas
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_cde
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_asm
What you need to do is then use MAKE_DIR win1_DIRECTORY
Now DIR win1_ reports:
WIN1_boot
WIN1_test_bas
WIN1_DIRECTORY ->
DIR win1_DIRECTORY_ gives
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_bas
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_cde
WIN1_DIRECTORY_test_asm
To delete files from the directory, use:
WDEL win1_DIRECTORY_
Once the directory is empty, you can then delete the directory itself with:
DELETE win1_DIRECTORY
