Does anyone have an experience in using CF card as IDE HD?
i have a 386sx machine and plan to install slackware on it . however , the origin hardisk is too small . I have heard that CFcard could work as an ATA disk and there is a lot of cheap CF-IDE converter too.
Before starting the project, i have some questions :
1. does the CF card size limited by the IDE adapter (512M limitation etc)?
2. how to set the "harddisk " type on the bios (cylinder , sector , head etc).
3. how to set the primary and secondary drive , cable selection ?
Thanks a lot !
