Atari Falcon Dual Internal IDE Adapter 

Sponsored by www.pcbway.com
The Falcon shipped with the option of a single internal 2.5" laptop-style IDE hard disc. The default offering was for 65MB (yes, megabytes, kids), but I was flash and received an 80MB one.
Of course, these days, spinning metal isn't all that and the ability to pop out an SD card and shove it into your PC to add files or configure things is very useful indeed.
Except the default Falcon byte order isn't compatible with everyone else's interpretation of the IDE standard so additional conversions steps are required.
The obvious thing to try is to add a second IDE channel via an adapter, boot from the master in Atari-mode and have the slave in PC mode with some software compensating for the change in real time.
Let's try that...
