Project details
The IDE interface usually is a small circuit with connections to IDE 2.5" and 3.5". In this case, the "Eyetech MK4" cames with:
- The circuit (interface)
- with a 2,5" cable
- 1 floppy disk with drivers/software
In this example we have a standard A1200 case, so to install, we have to:
- open the A1200 case, carefull, there are a lot of cases that the screws are hard to remove, and you could damage the case if you use to many force.
- locate your HD, if any, in a standard a1200 case should be a 2.5", but it's possible to have a 3.5". Remove the IDE cable from HD
- if you had the HD you allready have a 44 pin cable of 2.5" connected to the board, if not, find the 44 pin in the board on
the left part, and insert the cable.
- connect the other end of the cable to IDE interface where it says "internal HD" it has 44 pins.
- connect the HD to interface, if it is a 2.5" connect to the other 44 pin available, if you have a 3.5" connect to one of the two 40 pin connecters available, it should work on both. You can also use an adapter from 3.5" to 2.5"
- you can also connect a cd-rom, to do so, connect it to the "ch2s" and leave the ch2m to the HD.
The cable stripes goes all to the left, see bpttom pictures .
