This is not gonna be a comprehensive,  "this is the one way to do it" type of video.

And I'm not gonna show every single option for CompactFlash, either.

But I do want to give an overview as far as how I'm gonna be doing it for

that I put together last year here on LGR.

It's a great little workhouse machine... workhorse.

recently the hard drive has gotten really, really loud,

And that is actually one reason that I like

putting old hard disks in old computers like this.

It's part of that retro nostalgic experience for me.

to have a spinning platter in there making noise.

And, you know, the load times and stuff, it makes sense.

But there comes a point, too, where I'm using this one to

And I really wished that I had something more convenient

than having to rely on old floppy disks and stuff.

Let's take a look at some of the devices that I'm considering.

So when it comes to this CompactFlash stuff, you have several options.

This one seems to be one of the most popular ones by Syba here.

We got an IDE cable that goes right here,

and then, of course, your CompactFlash card

right there like that, and it's a pretty simple solution.

In fact, most of these are gonna be internal.

So you're gonna have access to the inside of the case,

There's also this one that plugs in directly

your floppy disk controller card, whatever.

it's just not, you know, not on this little board here

It is worth noting, though, that these are only gonna work with certain computers

with a certain BIOS that is supportive of these.

And unfortunately, there's no directory saying

which one's gonna work for you and which one won't.

These are the ones that seem to be recommended to me for the most part

by people that say they work well on 386 and 486.

I just picked this up on a whim 'cause I was curious.

Just goes right in here on a 2½-inch IDE tray.

And of course, there's also just the matter of the cards themselves.

Not all CompactFlash cards are gonna be created equally,

as you might imagine. They've been around for a long time.

I've heard that these older ones, like the 64 meg one here

4 gig cards, although I'm only gonna be able to use

There's something else just to keep in mind in general,

and that is the reason that these devices work

CompactFlash actually uses the parallel ATA standard.

So these are just basically miniature ATA devices.

These adapters are just converting the interface of CompactFlash

And that's why there's so little going on here.

Pretty much, it's just adding this stuff for power

The newer CompactFlash cards, like CompactFast, like CFast,

won't work at all. Those use serial ATAs as standard.

Or at least they won't work on these old computers.

There's also these industrial solid-state

flash memory solutions, they're disk-on-modules,

And this one's 128 megs. They come in different sizes, as you can see.

But yeah, these are good if you want to do

These go directly into the IDE interface, a lot like this other one does.

But of course, this isn't swappable, and I can't just easily

that I could easily transfer and swap back and forth.

which is really just the same as this other one over here.

so it adds a little port on the back of my computer,

and this way I can sort of swap the cards
