CFDISK.1x dimensions This is the 40 pin IDE version, designed for use with standard PC system boards. This version is available with hard disk (large) or floppy disk (small) power connectors. The CF connector supports type I (regular CompactFlash) and type II (e.g. IBM Microdrive) cards. This board can be configured for master / slave – install jumper for master, remove jumper for slave. CFDISK.1C can be configured with ejector on request (type I cards only). A dual stacked version (master + slave) is also available (special order only). Change history: CFDISK.1E Add support for IDE DMA. CFDISK.1D Use low profile CF header for lower cost CFDISK.1C Made in Taiwan, all ceramic bypass capacitors CFDISK.1B Assembled in USA, PTH electrolytic bypass capacitors CFDISK.1A Assembled in USA, SMT electrolytic bypass capacitors All dimensions in mils (0.001 inches). CFDISK.2A - 2D dimensions (phased out – special order only) This is the 44 pin IDE version, designed for use with embedded PC system boards. The board is designed to have the same outline and pinout as a 2.5”hard disk drive, but will not match the vertical profile of modern 2.5” drives. The 44 pin connector includes power, there is no separate power connector. The CF connector supports type I and type II cards. CFDISK.2E / 2F / 2G dimensions This version has the same outline, but is designed to match the vertical profile of 2.5” drives. This board is mounted through threaded stand-offs from the bottom side. The 44 pin connector includes power, there is no separate power connector. The CF connector supports type I and type II cards. Change history: CFDISK.2G Change to CSEL cable select instead of hard-wired master / slave. CFDISK.2F Added IDE DMA support. CFDISK.2E Straddle mount connector, threaded standoffs CFDISK.2D Made in Taiwan CFDISK.2C Assembled in USA, all ceramic bypass capacitors, delete master / slave jumper, change CF header CFDISK.2B Assembled in USA, no stuff redundant bypass capacitors, change CF header CFDISK.2A Assembled in USA, SMT electrolytic bypass capacitors CFDISK.5x dimensions This version is designed to plug directly onto an IDE header, using a right angle female header (adapter at a right angle to the PCB). Power is supplied by a floppy power connector. The CF card extends beyond the PCB, so this solution is not suitable for 1U chassis. Not recommend for high vibration environments. No master / slave selection. This board can also be ordered with a straight 40 pin header (CFDISK.5GS) In this configuration, the adapter is coplanar (parallel) with the system board, with the CF header facing down. Change history: CFDISK.5H Added IDE DMA support. CFDISK.5G Change of CF header for lower cost CFDISK.5F Special version with 180 degree rotated data connector (special order) CFDISK.5D Made in Taiwan CFDISK.5C Assembled in USA, all ceramic bypass capacitors, change CF header CFDISK.5B Assembled in USA, change electrolytic cap to SMT, turn IDE connector around, use keyed connector CFDISK.5A Assembled in USA, non-keyed connector (different orientation)
