Has anyone tryed this: http://www.basscadets.co.uk/emu/faq.htm (last article, where it's taught how to plug and ide hd without the mounting kit)?

i might do it, but what are the types of drives usable? 512mb? 32gigs? 120gigs?

in pcs the total storage space of your hd is limited by the type of bios you have. what about your emu?

thanks

40gb in mine - no probs as yet! there was a limit until eos 4.7, not sure whether there is a new one.

40 gb is great. i cant remember wich OS i'm using... but i've got a 5000 ultra... i might try something bigger

but did you do something like the hack posted on that site ?

thanks

40GB Maxtor HD here, and I've used the hack on that site for both SCSI and IDE drives. Works fine.

I have one 120gb drive in my E4 platinum.it seams to work ok.

i'm concerned with the fact that hd spinning at 7200 or faster should have its own cooler...

something else... this topic was supposed to be "Has anyone tryed using a IDE ***WITHOUT*** the mounting kit ?" and not "Has anyone tryed using a IDE with the mounting kit ?"

what a dork... i can sometimes be :/

thanks for the help... i'll be trying it soon... if you smell something being toasted it's probably my 5000 :)

I have about 35gb on my disc at the moment and I have had the drive mounted for over a year now.
and it doesn?t smell bad at all :thumbs:

Since when? I've used 7200rpm hard drives in PC's for the last ten years, and never used a cooler. It'll be fine - go for it!!! :thumbs:

"IDE hard drive mounting and connection kit for your EMU, you just need to get a drive. Equivalent to EMU part 6306."

If you're in the UK scsibob will sell you an equivelant kit for ?10
