This bootable expansion card provides a Compact Flash card interface to 8-bit ISA systems such as PC/XT. Typically paired with a 64MB or 1GB CF card. Silent, and more reliable than an old mechanical hard drive.

By default the XT-IDE BIOS comes configured for:
  • XT(and higher)-compatible BIOS.
  • Use the XT-CF-Mini's IDE interface at 300h, no IRQ.
  • Boot first hard drive unless user presses A for floppy.
Any of the above can be changed with the simple DOS utility and built-in switches.

Switches and jumpers control:
  • I/O port for the 8-bit IDE (CF) interface
  • I/O port for the Option ROM
  • Option ROM Enable
  • Option ROM Write-protect

Note: Not all CF cards will work. Most work, but some don't adhere to the CF standard fully, and won't work. The full size XT-IDE card with an IDE>CF adapter, is compatible with more CF cards.
