DT166 Hard Drive 2.5 IDE Help
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 3:09 am
Hi all, this is my first post
Im so happy i found this site as ive been struggling to find information on a DT166 i got hold of not too long ago.
The specification of the unit is
AMD Geode GX533 (400mhz)
128mb RAM (soldered)
64mb DOM connected to a 44pin IDE socket
4 USB 1.1
audio/mic
Power 12v 1.2a
It seems the unit has a number of different names on the net an im unsure why
I have just bought a 44pin to 44pin IDE cable to connect a 2.5" Laptop HDD but i have since read conflicting view on the compatibililty of 5v HDD's?
Apparently the unit only accepts 3.3v's? I hope not because ive just bought a 160gb Samsung IDE drive for the unit and the drive is 5v only? Im guessing that means it will not work?
Can someone confirm this for me?
I also read about a jumper that i could change to make the IDE interface accept 5v's? Apparently this jumper is JP2 but i can only see JP1 on my board?
Please help someone.
Thank you.
