The Vulcan controller is IDE. Any CF to 40 pin IDE adapter
will work, but you must find 5v and ground on the controller,
(not hard), and hook it to a standard floppy power plug.


end guote


duh? technology marches on...they have stuff called a " CF to IDE adaptor"
duh.i had no idea
where can i get such a beast (compuguys?/ etc?)

so i simply find the 5v and ground on the vulcan controller and hook it to a
standard floppy plug
not sure what you mean exactly ...standard floppy plug? a 5v plug on the ap2
motherboard someplace?

i don't use the speaker...so would that plug work ( been awhile since i
hacked around inside an apple except to do air can dusting)


i have another wierd guestion....i have that proslot card which allows you
in slot 7 to put 2 cards sideways into it...the cards tuck under the lip
of the apple // right side facing down..now i know you don't have the
card...but the unit i have (the //e dapple //e by dapple computer for use
with and electron microscope) is setup with one of the dapple cards (video)
and mouse card in that slot 7 proslot arrangement

could ....using such a card ..could you actually use such a beast
(concievably) to put say 2 cffa cards or some such silly ness in the same
slot? or is this limited to printer cards....or something slow...anyway on
this dapple setup looks like both cards are being used somehow at same time

anyway...i'll try to get you .jpg of that proslot beast
