[Coco] Glenside IDE Interface Setup

[Kip Koon]

Hi Jim,
I have used the Glenside IDE Controller on all Cocos - 1, 2 & 3.  I have used them with HDBDOS 1.4 & with NitrOS-9 L1 & L2.  There is no EPROM socket on the board itself.  You will need to get a couple of cartridge card edge connectors and install them on the board.  You will also need a little EPROM board to plug into one of the card edge connectors.  You will need one of many different versions of HDBDOS 1.4 installed on the EPROM board.  All though I have not tried this on the Glenside IDE Controller yet, I expect you could run Brett Gordon's YA-DOS as well.  YA-DOS has just about every driver needed to talk to just about every storage device ever built for the Cocos.  At this point you need either an IDE hard drive, an IDE to Compact Flash adapter, or an IDE to SD Card adapter for online storage.  I've used all three.  The adapters will need a CF card or SD card respectively of course.  Then you have a big decision as to what software you want to put on your new online storage device.  DECB only software, NitrOS-9 L1 or L2 only software or Both simultaneously or are you going to put your own custom created software on your Coco.  If you have any further questions, feel free to email or call me on Skype using username "drwho7777" if you have any questions.  Or if you like, we can talk on the phone.  Just let me know your choice.  I hope this helps.  Take care my friend.

Subject: [Coco] Glenside IDE Interface Setup

Hello All,

I'm curious if I bring my CoCo 2 and Glenside IDE Interface to CoCoFest if may be able enlist someone's assistance in setting it up. I purchased it a few years back but have not made the time to set it up.

I can burn an EPROM for it in advance of the show. I just need to be sure I'm selecting the correct ROM image and if there is any other hardware I need to interface it.

I can't remember if the Glenside IDE Interface board has an populated ROM socket or if I need to install a card edge connector and acquire a cartridge board.

Thank you,

Jim Mazurek
