Upcoming CS-E9315 board

[superpat]

Hi,

Please can you tell me whether your new CS-E9316 board will support connection to IDE pata hard drives? (as does the Cirrus board)

The preliminary write-up on your web site does not mention IDE, for your board, but the schematic does show IDE and drive power connectors!

Will you be selling the board WITHOUT the LCD display?

What is the estimated shipping date?

I want to start with Cirrus ARM9, and I have to choose whether to wait for yours, or go with the Cirrus 9315A-Z board.

cheers

Patrick

The image of the PCB layout for the CS-E915 that olimex has on their site has a 40-pin header on the left side of the board. It’s next to the RS-232 connectors and is surrounded by SMT resistors. You can also just make out the ‘IDE’ label in the silkscreen layer.
