For sale is one fully assembled Glitch Works Slot 8 Support mod board (GW-S8S-2) for XT-IDE adapters. This board adds compatibility with IBM 5155 PC Portable and 5160 PC/XT slot 8, which requires an additional signal above what is required for normal ISA slots. This module is only useful if you have an IBM PC Portable or PC/XT, and will add no benefit on a clone system.
These mod boards will work with the following XT-IDE boards:
Additionally, this board can be used with Hargle/N8VEM XT-IDE rev 1 boards, but only if the *CARDSEL pin is present on the edge connectors -- most XT-IDE rev 1 boards do not have this pin present and cannot make use of this board.
Design writeups and installation instructions for the XT-IDE rev 2 and rev 3 can be found on our site. Due to changes in eBay policy, we can no longer link to project writeups and instructions. Visit the link silkscreened on the board or search for the part number to find assembly instructions and project documentation.
Do note that this listing is for a single Slot 8 Support module, as seen in the first picture. The second image is a panel of Slot 8 Support modules before being broken apart. The third image shows a prototype Slot 8 Support module installed on an XT-IDE rev 4 board.
