[Coladam] IDE-to-Compact-Flash-Adapter question (fwd)

[Richard F. Drushel]

[originally sent to Bob Slopsema today, not sure I used right address]

	Hi Bob, the following was posted to alt.folklore.computers this
morning.  The guy posted some questions yesterday about the difference
between Disk Manager and File Manager, which I answered publicly.  This
one, however, I am so far away from having worked with an IDE hard drive
setup program that I don't know...but I figured You Da Man for this one :-)

	I'd have posted it to the coladam list, but adamcon.org is still
verflixt :-S

Well, I didn't know where to post this, but I thought these seemed like
a good place to start. I have an old Coleco Adam with a
MicroInnovations IDE drive adaptor. I would like to upgrade it, and
keep it internal by useing a Kingston 48MB HighSpeed COmpact flash
card. Model CD/48. Ok, the problem now comes when the setup software
ask me for the number of heads and cylinders. how does a CF emulate
these features, well, if they do that is.
