Hi, is there anybody who tried to connect non-standard equipment to PC over its IDE interface under Windows? The idea is to use IDE interface as a quick hook for high-speed data acquisition from a custom digital camera (simulating IDE/ATAPI interface), avoiding writing any low-level drivers and using a standard direct drive access through Windows API calls. Yet still expecting to achieve throughput of several dozens MB/s. Any thoughts or experience?
May be I do have. Delayed as you can see by "many many years though" - I'm good at seeing past So, what about ATA? I guess nobody came across this ever? Everybody uses IDE port to connect just IDE HDDs. The disciplinarians
