You might get away with it, but I wouldn't
recommend it. Add to the
mix that 8" drive cables are usually much longer than 5.25" or 3.5"
cables (read: higher inductive load) and you have an "interesting"
Isn;'t it the extra capacitance (from the longer cable) that's the problem?
cocktail. I never could make my CW MK 3 work reliably
with 8" drives
until I constructed a buffer board.
I was going to ask that. What is the problem with construction an add-on
buffer board, say using 74x07 chips and pull-up resistors, to interface
between the microcontroller/USB interface thingy/... and thr 8" driv
