Re: (HOST)ATA/IDE <-> MyDevice <-> ATA/IDE (HDD
WELL ... well ,, what a SURPRISE ,,, i thought aboout doing this LONG TIME AGO (2 years) . I wanted to scramble the data lines with HARDWARE ,, but after some thought is more complicated because the first sector is FIXED so if you compare that sector to what you scramble then you can find the scrambling PATTERN ,,
so to work around it .Evry sector has to be scrambled differently ,,
Well is very easy(just some more work) . But i decided to abandon this project BECAUSE parallel IDE is DEAD !
The new hard drives have SERIAL ATA .. and the frequency is very high (3 gigabits) ...and you will have to buffer packages .. ... too COMPLEX !
But if you want to try the only architecture capable IS VIRTEX II or 4
