| CORRECT | APPROVED | |||
| CORRECT | The connections displayed here agree with the connections I plan to make. | APPROVED | ||
| INCORRECT | The pinout for the compact flash connector is ambiguous. It is not keyed, and therefore impossible to tell the top from bottom. | APPROVED | ||
| CORRECT | I spent a lot of time while dismantled CF and checked key assigment. Finally i found simple solution what works- so here is Tip how to know which keys are 1-25 and 26-50: It is known that CF keys 1, 25, 26, 50 is grounded (still mirror riddle) and only one more grounded key 33 is answer. If you look picture how Female connector looks, then key 33 is 8ht hole from left in upper-row. Now just get a chain-link using your resistance-tester for any key 1, 25, 26 or 50 to this 8ght hole by turning CF card upsidedown. When you got link, then you know where is key 33, so left is 26, right is 50 and down-left is 1 and down-right is 25. Note: use picture from this side for pin assigment. | APPROVED | ||
| 2008-08-13 18:55:34 | CORRECT | This schematic works! | rev. 2 | APPROVED |
| 2009-01-06 16:38:02 | INCORRECT | DMA pinconnection missed | rev. 3 | APPROVED |
| 2009-01-26 11:26:26 | INCORRECT | I did all the pin to pin from this connector to the ide one. Unfortunately, it does not work. it damaged the IDE port on the chipset i was runing it into. Do not trust this pin layout. | rev. 3 | APPROVED |
| 2009-12-20 21:52:48 | CORRECT | Absolutely correct. You have to make sure that your CF slot is connecting to a real IDE port of course, but in my case (embedded system) this pinout worked perfectly. | rev. 3 | APPROVED |

| 2008-11-27 22:06:55 | ulis | rev. 3 | I made comment how to know where is 1-25, 26-50 pins and now i have mede some mistype corrections, nothing more (swap 8gt ->8th; from this side->site, better pinouts.ru) |
| 2009-03-01 22:45:10 | rev. 3 | DMA connections missed |
Pinouts.ru > Pinout of IDE to CompactFlash (CF) adapter schematic and layout of 40 pin IDC female connector and 50 pin CompactFlash female connector |
should be correct |
