  • No Drivers Required!
  • Supports DMA!
  • Bootable!


    Our Female Rt.Angle(-FRA) IDE to Compact Flash Adapter is designed to plug directly into an IDE connector on a motherboard and provide an interface to the Compact Flash 50 pin Bus. It does not require drivers, and is bootable under all operating systems.  It looks like a small hard drive to the computer.  We worked with Sandisk to be the first IDE to compact flash adapter to support DMA.  Type I & II CF cards are supported. We are also the only manufacture that controls the power to the CF card via presence detection. .

    IDE to CF Adapter Bottom The Female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash Adapter plugs into the host PC 40 pin shrouded IDE cable header, the same way that a IDE hard drive cable is plugged in.  Connection to the Compact FLASH(CF) card is made via a type 1/II 50 pin Compact FLASH card socket.  Since the Female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash Adapter plugs directly into the 40 pin IDE cable header, there are no jumpers for selecting master/slave.  Only 5V is used/required from the 3-1/2" disk drive power connector, allowing it to be used in single supply voltage installations.

    The Female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash Adapter provides an IDE to Compact Flash Interface that can be used on virtually any PC with an IDE controller. Using the female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash adapter, with a Compact Flash card as a solid state bootable disk drive, provides a highly reliable bootable program and data storage device. Compact Flash can provide a robust, low current, low operating temperature, and highly reliable storage solution for your embedded PC or application.


    IDE to CF Adapter Bottom  If your application/platform works with an IDE drive, then it will work with a Compact Flash card and our Female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash Adapter. Once the adapter is inserted into the IDE connector of the host PC, and a Compact FLASH(CF) card is inserted, the Compact FLASH card will appear as a hard drive on your PC.  Indicator LED's for card power and card activity are provided on the front edge of the adapter.  A Single grounded mounting hole is provided for securing the adapter to the PC motherboard.



    The ACS Female Rt.Angle IDE to Compact Flash Adapter does not support 3.3volt only Compact Flash Cards, and according to the CF card manufactures, should not be hot swapped!
