- Standards and performance CF specification Ver3.0 IDE/ATA-66 specification IDE interface in true IDE mode Supports DMA 66 transfer mode - Main use and benefits Enables using a Compact Flash card as an IDE device, allowing CF cards to function like standard IDE drives. Facilitates testing and development with devices that rely on an IDE storage interface, such as certain sound cards, graphics cards, and other IDE-based peripherals. - IDE Connector and compatibility IDE interface: 40-pin, 2.54 mm male connector Directly inserts into an IDE bus without additional adapters - Features and value Provides an IDE interface for Compact Flash cards, enabling traditional IDE workflows with CF storage Supports true IDE mode and DMA 66 for improved transfer performance where supported - Use scenarios 1) Test legacy hardware such as sound cards or graphics cards that expect an IDE storage device, using a CF card as the drive 2) Maintain or repair older PC systems by replacing hard drives with CF-based storage via the IDE interface 3) Implement compact, silent storage in embedded or test rigs that require an IDE-compatible CF solution
