Hi Steve,
Thank you for the reply and offer. T1850 has 2.5" IDE connector.
According to
VOGONS forum, T1850 has old & inflexible BIOS, which accepts only couple of Toshiba HDD's..
Some people tried Anydrive on other models, but were not successful with T1850 apparently...
So it seems I have only 3 options:
- change BIOS
- emulate one of the listed HDD's (CP2048 for example.. on my machine it spins but it seems to be damaged (boot sector? after some time I have message "insert system disk when ready" (FDD also doesn't work, rubber belt turned into black paste..), so it's unusable).
- modify eeprom content on one of sd-cf adaters .. a bit tricky because it needs de-soldering eeprom and putting it back - but doable, provided the method is confirmed to work on that comp.
