i'll try to do some shematics for this.
and a partlist too

sounds good, I hope to see it soon.emu_kidid wrote:I'm having 100 made, and the pcb/schmatics/parts list/everything will be made public
@antalpromille - nice work making the adapter. I hope I can find some time to do one this winter.antalpromille wrote:here is some pictures of the adapter i made. built to fit and replace the usb to ide pcb inside an external hdd closure. the chip itself is on the bottomside of my pcb just to make it fit inside, and its using power from the closure to the harddrive and it also uses the original activity led from the closure. atm its running a beta from emukidid.
i had my own doubts about this since i had alot of problems making it work, but now you can se for your self
greetings from sweden!
If you made 100 and you will release new version of the sd-boot I'll buy one immediatelyemu_kidid wrote:I'm having 100 made, and the pcb/schmatics/parts list/everything will be made public
are you making the pcd design self? in what program. i´m working on one in eagle to etch my self just to make it look more professional and to get away from all wires if you got the pcb design and want so share it, you got my emailemu_kidid wrote:well these 100 are my motivation to get SD-boot polished up for a release
i cant help you with the schematics byt i can tell you what you need to make it as easy as possible.liquitt wrote:i'll try to do some shematics for this.

your my man, but one question i still have. what does on the V9 diagram with the ide connection the red lines mean? do i need to disconnect these parts or solder them together?antalpromille wrote:i cant help you with the schematics byt i can tell you what you need to make it as easy as possible.liquitt wrote:i'll try to do some shematics for this.

your gonna need:
kynar wire avg30 something like it.
experimental board of your choise.
solder iron, solder and flux.
1 X 20x2 pinheader.
1 X 330 Ohm resistor (2 if you want a power indicating led).
1 X 10k Ohm resistor.
1 X led for activity (or 2 if you want power indicating led).
1 X XC95144XL-based chip, i used bluechip v9.
1 X GC memory card to sacrifice (or solder the exi wires inside the GC).
JTAG-programmer compatible with your chip.
maybe something more, but i think thats all.
if you use bluechip v9 or v10 i attached some pictures i got from emu_kidid, i modified one of them.
you are supposed to desolder the resistors and caps mounted at the red linesyamaharacer wrote:your my man, but one question i already have. what does on the V9 diagram with the ide connection the read lines mean? do i need to disconnect these parts or solder them together?antalpromille wrote:i cant help you with the schematics byt i can tell you what you need to make it as easy as possible.liquitt wrote:i'll try to do some shematics for this.

it´s not realy needed but if you like me want a second led showing that the curcuit got power, thats where that resistor goesemu_kidid wrote:I only used a single 330ohm resistor, where did the second go?
awesome, I dream this for some time after make this adapter and get it working for games...It's not too difficult to port mplayer-ce to GC with support for this.. it's definitely high on my todo list
What are you going to do with 500 leds? Is it so that you can test things out easily (e.g, see led is on or off)?antalpromille wrote:hi guys!
as soon as my 500 uv-leds arrives and i can make my pcb and test it
he will prepare a device to etch pcbs. so he need a device to expose a pcb for the layout. there he need this LEDs.gtmtnbiker wrote:What are you going to do with 500 leds? Is it so that you can test things out easily (e.g, see led is on or off)?antalpromille wrote:hi guys!
