Hi Andrii,

I dont have an N8 but your config changes look good to me. PPIDE on N8 should work, basically identical to SBC-V2

Have you removed Jumpers JP8 and JP7?

Have you checked power requirements for CF-IDE adaper i.e. on N8 K2 jumper and any jumpering on CF-IDE board itself.

What error messages are you getting?
Do you have the Front panel IDE LED hooked up? Is there any activity on it.

Have you checked orientation of pin 1 of cf-ide card versus pin 1 on N8? If so get up turn around 3 times anticlockwise, then 2 times clockwise, then sit down, chant for 30 seconds then check again.

You could try writing a simple BASIC program to test the 8255 i.e. flash the IDE led, toggle some lines https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/programmable-peripheral-interf ace-8255/

Best of luck Phil.
