I have run into some that older computer just do not like as well as even CF cards from the same manufacturer and of the same model have different parameters. The easiest, cheapest, and really only existing solution is to use a CF or SD to IDE adapter and then a DOS based ISO loader if you want to not burn CDs.ĬF is IDE so the conversion is really simple. which require a special software to prep the USB sticks and write to them on the computer that does not have one of those emulators in it. The other option would be for it to be an ISA or PCI card for the controller part with it's own BIOS so it would be seen as a SCSI controller to the motherboard and then that would take out any limitation that the motherboard BIOS has in regards to drive parameters.įor ATA (CD/DVD), the controller would have to be able to format to CD/DVD size or make a special sized partition for whatever usb stick or card is being used. but they are not made it the IDE / optical emulator type.įor IDE, it would be a huge undertaking as the converter would have to be able to be set to use whatever size you want to format to and then be able to work with the IDE settings in the BIOS.
