Hi,
I proudly own a phatbox since last weekend. Unfortunately I don't have a USB cradle, so I have to unscrew the DMS everytime I want to change something.
Patching and everything works ok and I'm quite happy, I use a ide2usb adapter for the disk.
As cradles seem to be quite expensive to buy at the moment (even more expensive when they have to be shipped to europe),
I thought about 2 solutions to make life easier:
1) Modify the cradle to use compact flash cards.
This should work but it seems that there a size limitations for compact flash > 4GB inside the Phatbox Firmware. Has anyone investigated this any further?
2) Build a connector cable from the DMS connector to the IDE adapter.
Unfortunately it seems to be hard find a right connector and even harder to get the pin layout for such an adapter.
Any ideas? Anybody else who had a similar scenario and worked something out?
It's not so bad right now, but maybe it could be much better...
Thanks,
Sebastian
