Key - Excellent: 5 points; Very Good: 4 points; Good: 3 points; Average: 2 points; Poor: 1 points; (Average points in brackets)
(1) Missing Surface Mount Transistor. Somehow I managed to short the read/write transistor. It caught fire and burned off the board. For IDE to USB the transistor doesn't appear to be needed, but I replaced it with an off the shelf PNP. The reader still reads and writes to CF's - 2 voters (5.00) BAR
(2) Cf to IDE First found at http://1u.homeip.net/ - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(3) USB to IDE. Follow the digram from the CF to IDE picture. Pull pin 18 on the GL641 to ground for ATA/ATAPI mode. The thin red wire is the Radio Shack 30 ga wirewrap stuff. I soldered everything with a standard full sized Weller WCTP soldering station. - 1 voter (4.00) BAR

Quantum Hard Drive circuit board. All of the surface mounted ICs were removed with a 1200 watt heat gun. A sheet of 20 guage steel was used for heat sheild, to protect connectors and components I wanted to keep. Some shorting had to be troubleshot, but keeping the board in tact meant I could use the powers and grounds and save on the number of connections that need to be manually soldered.
