| Essentially, I'm interested in using my Audrey as a programmable MP3 player to install in my car. The most basic problem is, of course, where to store all that music. After a *wee* bit of research, I discovered that CompactFlash cards are required to support 3 transfer modes, one of which is TrueATA, which allows nearly direct wiring of CompactFlash cards into a IDE/ATA bus. Also, the Geode chipset supports 2 standard IDE channels. My thought is that the CompactFlash port is accessed via the integrated drive controller. If this is the case, how possible does everyone think hooking a traditional hard drive to the audrey via something like this: http://www.advantech.com/epc/newsletter/v34-10-15_00/4IDEsup.htm Anyone tried this? Or gaping holes in my logic? | |
