Functional Description
PRV-1220 is a low-cost, CompactFlash® to IDE adapter flexibly designed with both 40-pin (0.10") and 44-pin
(2mm) IDE connectors. Fully compatible with Type I and Type II cards, the adapter enables both solid-state
CompactFlash and IBM® Microdrive® media to be used as a bootable IDE (ATA) disk drive in any computer
with an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface. The product features power and activity LED indicators, a
master/slave selection jumper, four mounting holes, and front panel mounting brackets.
Transparent to the operating system (OS), the CFII-IDE does not require any device drivers to work with DOS®,
Windows®, Linux®, and any other PC-based operating systems. A CompactFlash card appears as a small IDE
hard disk drive to the BIOS and OS. The product’s small size and versatile design make it an ideal solution for
embedded systems requiring reliable, removable Flash memory storage. Compact Flash provides a robust, low-
current, low-operating temperature, and highly reliable storage solution for embedded computing applications.
Formerly known as the CFII-IDE.
