[Coco] SDC Lba mode

[Steve Pedersen]

Ok, So what I want to do can't currently be done. bummer.
So it sounds like what I need is a super ide or the glenside ide board.
Is anyone produceing either that I could buy ? The Super IDE would be
prefered with it's cf card slot.
If any of the brilliant hardware dev people would consider makine a
superduper IDE supporting 2 master/slave pairs linked to sd or cf card's I
will be happy to buy such a beast. or even just a single master/slave board.
The older ide boards are currently unobtainable at least I think so, If
there is anyone produceing the old ide cards please let me know.
