    Description

    Do you have a vintage 8086/186/286/386/486 PC? Is the hard drive failing, made of "unobtainium," too small, or just too valuable to use? Did it not come with or even support a hard drive originally?
    This card will enable you to have a BOOTABLE solid state drive (SSD/Compact Flash) or modern PATA/IDE hard drive on your vintage PC! Supports drives >1TB!
    Newly redesigned for 2019 (these are the latest model), these cards feature:
    - INCLUDED custom-made mounting bracket is adjustable and will accommodate the shortest Tandy to the longest IBM/clone slot-to-bracket spacing, while allowing access to the external CF card!
    - INCLUDED 2GB Compact Flash card is preloaded with XTIDE utilities and DOS. Plug it in and it'll boot to a command prompt!
    - XTIDE Universal BIOS in boot ROM for identifying Hard Drives and Compact Flash cards at boot-time!
    - These are a FULL implementation of XTIDE that is super compatible with the vast majority of XT/AT computers, Compact Flash cards, and PATA/IDE Hard Drives.
    - Supports up to 2 Hard Drives or a single CF card of nearly any capacity
    - Built-in SLOT 8 compatibility
    - Internally and externally accessible Compact flash slots and internal IDE/PATA. Using a USB to CF2 converter, this makes moving data between your modern PC and the vintage PC quite easy!
    - Based on the rock-solid and reliable XTIDE Rev.1 (ALL 10 or 11 chip XTIDE adaters are, regardless of their alleged revision numbers)
    - Clean and appealing layout
    - If for any reason you aren't 100% satisfied within 30 days, SEND IT BACK FOR A FULL REFUND OR EXCHANGE! I'm WAY into vintage PCs and I understand that things don't always work as expected (International buyers, I cannot offer free return shipping)!
    8088-based computers are picky about the type of CF card used. They will require an IDE/PATA hard drive or a Memory Partner, WinSystems or SiliconDrive CF card. The free included CF card isn't compatible with 8088's.
    The 5150 16KB-64KB systems will also require upgrading to the 64KB-256KB BIOS, in addition to the aforementioned compatible CF card.
    The 5170 factory BIOS revisions will have to be upgraded to an AMI, Award or Quadtel BIOS.

    Thanks for looking and HAPPY VINTAGE COMPUTING!
