Can 3rd party applications scan IO ATA interface on card?

October 1st, 2010, 8:21

Have access to a PC3000 setup but sadly no Dataextractor. So is it possible to use a 3rd party app which will scan for devices on the card IO interface address? I would be looking to mount drive with or without loader in pc3000 then open a recovery utility to image or access files.

Something like R-Studio or GDB would be great but I can't find any settings which can be changed to do this. Any other app suitable?

Or would only 'in house software' specially written be able to do this?

You could use a third party tool but you would only have PIO mode. Which is going to be slow

Save up some Rubles and get extractor add on :o)

I still can't see how it might be done.
I don't think it would be possible to change the IO address on the card so one would need to instruct any 3rd party software there is an ata port located at a non standard address to scan for any attached device.
How would one do it?

probably would need a birdge driver. O/S Recovery Software <> O/S Port <> PC3k Port
