Sata hdd issues, jp 103-5 adapter

[shefben]

I recently got my dreamcast working with a large 3.5" 500gb hard drive.

I wanted to switch to an (seagate) sata 2.5" 500gb hard drive so i bought a j20330 adaptor
(I have the top adaptor, not the bottom longer one)


The dreamcast will not boot from IDE, it freezes at loading retrodream from /ide/
But it does work with the sd card.

With the sd card I can access the list of games and movies on my sata hard drive, but when I go to launch the games it freezes on executing game, after mounting fat partition.

I tried using a 10k resistor between 3.3v and pin 1, I also tried a 400pf cap between pin 1 and 2 on my adaptor.

Neither of those solutions made any difference.

I tried a different brand hard drive (toshiba) and it didnt fix the issue either.

Also: I am using GD-IDE, which is soldered to a gdrom pcb, without the lens or motor
Can someone please help me?
