Hello,
I recently posted on my patron page about the tests conducted on the PCB received earlier this year.
The test were overall conclusive but some issues were present.
I than made a new revision fixing those issues and also replaced the flash memory (again !) as i was able to find a 5V flash memory still in production to this day simplifying the design and reducing the footprint.
It's with great pleasure i can announce everything is working and the final stages of this projet has been reached.
I am now preparing to produce the first production units and the packaging.
Two versions of the IDE adapter will be available.
First the CF version then a bit later the IDE Passthrough version (for those preferring using DoM), combining the two was too tricky and cumbersome.
The CF version will probably come with the CF included.
On a technical side the PCBs are now four layers, a great care have been taken to match length the trace of every parallel buses (IDE and flash memory) and impedance matched.
The picture below are not the final product but it's pretty close, most notable change is the board type selection is now a micro dip switch.
Cheers !
