Newbie here, and I am necro-reviving this long dead thread for some help. I just received my Leading Edge Model D, double 5.25 FD model, no HDD, with Phoenix Bios 2.13. DESPERATELY wanting to install an XTIDE device and wondering if the following quote from above still holds true:
Edit 2: XTIDE card works on 2.13 without a problem! According to my research, it seems that 2.13 and 3.0 of the Phoenix BIOS used in the model Ds were the ones used for "fixed disk" models, though I'm just speculating from random snippets I've been reading. But there could perhaps be a correlation.
Has anyone more recently used an XTIDE device on the Model D with Phoenix Bios 2.13 and had it to work? Especially with the newer XTIDE BIOS revisions?
I have ZERO experience with flashing/replacing EPROMs and really don't want to venture down that road unless absolutely necessary.
Also: Any recommendations about WHERE to purchase such device? I know there are CF and SD card versions, and that TexElec is one supplier, such as below:
