TrueIDE
TrueIDE is a converter that allows you to use up to two Compact Flash cards with your IDE controller. TrueIDE even permits the use of CF cards that regular (passive) converters will only show as removable devices. The active part of TrueIDE parses the data stream that is exchanged between IDE controller and the CF card, and whenever the IDE controller checks for removability, TrueIDE will report back that the media is "fixed". This will allow installing and booting any operating system from a CF card.
IDE connector
TrueIDE features two 40-pin IDE connectors, so you can mount the adapter either horizontally or vertically. The picture above shows the TrueIDE converter being mounted horizontally on a Buddha "phoenix edition" controller, the picture below shows a vertical mount on a PC IDE controller.
Hardware-Multiboot
TrueIDE comes with two CF slots, one acting as IDE Master and one as IDE Slave drive. You can easily swap the Master/Slave setting by pressing and holding Reset for four seconds. This can be used for easy multi-boot, or for creating a remote rescue system.
The images do not show the actual scope of the delivery; we do not include the Buddha controller, a PC board or a CF card.
