Notes

A 60MB IDE storage package for the ADAM built on a CompactFlash card.

Why it works

  • CompactFlash speaks IDE natively. A card in a passive adapter is, as far as the machine is concerned, a hard disk.
  • No moving parts, and the card can be read on a modern computer - so software moves on and off the ADAM without a serial cable or a stack of disks.

What it replaces

  • A 256K data pack or a 160K floppy. 60MB is more than two hundred times either, reached instantly.

The dual-card 100MB package is catalogued alongside this one. MicroFox Technologies' IDE hardware is a fixture of the community's ADAM builds.
