IDE 100Mb Dual Compact Flash Card Package

An IDE storage package for the ADAM using two CompactFlash cards rather than a hard disk, totalling 100MB.

Why CompactFlash

• CF speaks IDE natively, so a card and a passive adapter stand in for a hard drive with no translation at all.
• Nothing spins and nothing wears out, which on a machine of this age matters more than speed.
• Cards can be read on a modern computer, so moving software on and off the ADAM stops being a problem.

Why two

• Two cards means two volumes, which suits a machine that thinks in drive letters - and lets one be swapped without disturbing the other.

MicroFox Technologies is among the ADAM's most active modern suppliers; their IDE interface with a dual CompactFlash adapter turns up throughout the community's builds, alongside their addressor cards and memory expanders.
