IDE to sata progress (working)

[rafa_apm]

Hey guys, Im just here trying to give my 2cent...

After some time trying to make my dc working with a ide to sata adaptor I finally got sucess..

My problem was in the ide cables I was using, the last thing I wold think..

I was using 30awg cables and I was stuck at the screen "lba48 detected"..

Now with 26awg ide cable it works 100%, Im kinda upset with myself because the solution was so easy..

Adaptor is a startech with the Marvel chipset.

Im using IDE reborn pcb, but I think this can be aplied in the "normal" ide mod..

Dreamshell boot screen sometimes appears bugged (the letters appears broken) but it boots and works normaly (this "problem" dosent happen wtith ide or cf)

Cheers!

using only ground 2 and 8cm longer max is helpfull too.

Yeah, it is, but I didnt managed to get it working that way :/ I only used the ground 2 and the wire was thick and like 4cm max and didnt worked
