Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to replace the cd-drive of a Mp3-cd player with a IDE HDD? The Mp3-cd player should have a IDE/ATAPI controller. Can I use some kind of adapter to enable the ATAPI controller to talk to other (non-ATAPI) buses/devices? There are several adaptors that allow a USB Controller to read a IDE/ATA/ATAPI drive but I guess the reverse functionality or ATAPI<->ATA translation. Any ideas? TIA, Siddhartha >> Stay informed about: Connect an IDE drive to a ATAPI controller
