[Elphel-support] Installing an external HDD on the model 353

[John M]

Hi Andrey,

I hope all is well.

>From the following link (
http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=10369#Example_-_setting_SATA_to_be_IDE_slave_.28needed_if_bottom_CF_card_or_internal_HDD_is_installed.29)
, Do I just click the link on that page? It shows me a page where it says
the following:

-
<i2c>
<width>8</width>
<bus>1</bus>
<slave>0x40</slave>
<data>222</data>
<rdata>222</rdata>
<hex_data>0xde</hex_data>
</i2c>


Any thoughts?

Thanks
