Hi,
What things i can/cant do with one or the other?
I suppose to the regular user CF-IDE is easier and more comfortable to use, but i dont want to miss something interesting with the IDE+RS232. The price is the same, so it doesnt help me to choose.

It is simply a pity that you donot read what I told you by mail.

with ATA-IDE you will need a kind of extternal power supply for ide and case.
There is not a lot to do with rs232, unless you have a specific idea.
-> Go for the CF-flash, you will not regret.
I got mine setup and ready to work in a pair of minutes

With CF-IDE you can't use CD-ROM or RS-232 but in otherhand it is much more confortable to use because you don't need external power supply or cable hell in your desktop.

I had already experience of the ata-ide , so i just put my cfcard with the interface power on , run fidsk, partition auto generate , partition write , and reboot !

No happy projects, but here's my 2 cents: unless you want to hook up a CD-ROM player to your MSX or you find use for that RS-232 thingy, CF would be the most comfortable way to go. So, don't wait any longer, just order the damned thing! |
