My CF to ide doesn't have the good connector what do you think about those :

Does it need a power supply ?

And finally what kind of brand of CF do you use please ?
I'll keep my ssd as long as possible but if I must change, I'll do it.

I'm using this one, because its easier to desolder the IDE connector.
It uses pads instead of holes.

I'm also using this QSB: https://dragoncity17.wordpress.com/2018/...st-gd-ide/

So basically, you solder the QSB to the bottom of your GD-ROM drive pcb.
Then you take a quality 40-pin IDE cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/erounder-Raspberr...157&sr=8-4
Plug this into the QSB on your GD-ROM drive, then cut off the IDE connector on the other side and make it as short as possible.

Remove the IDE connector on your CF2IDE adapter.

Then Solder all of the 40 wires + 5v (taken from QSB) + extra ground wires onto your CF2IDE adapter.

With a little bit of filing and scraping you can fit the CF-adapter inside the case on top of your modem and cut a hole in the side of your dreamcast case.

Then you have both working GD-ROM drive and internal CF-slot
