!!! This functionality is considered ALPHA and must not used with important and/or valuable data !!!

The Mega-ST version of the ATW800/2 offers a IDE harddisk emulation using the MicroSD card slot on the FPGA piggyback module (NOT the external MicroSD slot at the edge of the card!)

With firmware V1 on, the VME cards can use the IDE interface too - but only in conjuction with HDDRIVER 6.12 and later.
Additionally the functionality on VME machines is very limited.

Please refer to the manual for the how-to and procedure.
