CF to IDE Adapter for $2.00

<< < (5/7) > >>

ptpeter:
how could i use this in a jukebox application?

DaOld Man:
Ive just ordered two of these. My computer junk box is getting a little low, plus I was thinking of using it on a jukebox myself.
Biggest problem I see for a juke box would be storage size.
You can get a 4 gig CF card fairly cheap, but Ive seen an 8 gig that was very high, compared to hard drives.
But by using two 4 gigs on the two IDE channels, Im thinking OS and juke box software on one card and the MP3's on the other.
4 gig is about the size of a dvd. That should hold a lot of MP3's.

Wienerdog:
I just ordered a couple 4gb microdrives from geeks.com for about $15 each.

Chris:
If you use a DOS jukebox it saves a lot more room for music and boots faster.

DrumAnBass:
Yah I am attempting to use one of the $15 4gb microdrives from Geeks.com myself. The problem I have is that the mobo I am using doesn't seem to have a 4 pin floppy power connecter. Trying to find a cheap molex to floppy power adaptor.
