Archimedes A3010 upgrading to CF HDD setup, from a mechanical 31.9MB one to roughly 1GB (2x512MB) CF cards. A Watford Electronics IDE Interface is used.

NB: Just realised, the HDD isn't spinning after I removed the cable, it was the Floppy motor causing the vibration. Silly me!

Using !IDEForm software, and !SparkFS - with links below.

Not that difficult really to setup, just time consuming!
