Atari IDEa How To Connect User guide

How to connect IDEa controller inside Atari
I can not take response for damage caused by improper connection of IDEa system !!!
If your Atari computer doesn't have ECP connector or you want install it inside you have to connect all signals to CON1 socket on IDEa's motherboard.
Good place to mount it inside computer is a space above TV modulator - IDE connector to the port SIO.
Before you will start take a look at chips pinouts, this will help you find requested signals on them:
- Atari Fan Store

Antic - CO21698 MMU - CO61618
All connection must be done using as shortest wire as possible:
pin1 [con1] - GND GND can be connected only one time.
pin2 - EXTSEL - pin no 3 of Freddie chip. In the case of XEGS or 65XE without EXP port you
have to unsold this pin from motherboard and connect it to VCC through resistor 4.5-10k Ohm)
pin3 - A0 - pin no 9 of CPU
pin4 - A1 - pin no 10 of CPU
pin5 - A2 - pin no 11 of CPU
pin6 - A3 - pin no 12 of CPU
pin7 - A4 - pin no 13 of CPU
pin8 - A5 - pin no 14 of CPU
pin9 - A6 - pin no 15 of CPU
pin10 - GND
pin11 - A7 - pin no 16 of CPU
pin12 - A8 - pin no 17 of CPU
pin13 - A9 - pin no 18 of CPU
pin14 - A10 - pin no 19 of CPU
pin15 - A11 - pin no 20 of CPU
pin16 - A12 - pin no 22 of CPU
pin17 - A13 - pin no 23 of CPU
pin18 - A14 - pin no 24 of CPU
pin19 - GND
pin20 - A15 - pin no 25 of CPU
pin21 - D0 - pin no 33 of CPU
pin22 - D1 - pin no 32 of CPU

pin23 - D2 - pin no 31 of CPU
pin24 - D3 - pin no 30 of CPU
pin25 - D4 - pin no 29 of CPU
pin26 - D5 - pin no 28 of CPU
pin27 - D6 - pin no 27 of CPU
pin28 - D7 - pin no 26 of CPU
pin29 - GND
pin30 - GND
pin31 - Ø2 - pin no 29 of ANTIC
pin32 - GND
pin33 - N/C (not connected)
pin34 - RST - pin no 36 of ANTIC
pin35 to pin41 - N/C
pin42 - GND
pin43 - MPD - pin no 14 of MMU (in the case of Atari XEGS look below)
pin44 - N/C
pin45 - GND
pin46 - R/W: Read/write direction - pin no 14 of ANTIC
pin47 - VCC (power supply - e.g. pin no 8 of CPU)
pin48 - VCC
pin49 - N/C
pin50 - GND
*
* If you have Atari XEGS you have to replace original MMU chip with programmed GAL 16V8.
Some tips.
1. If you used too long wire to made your connection you can experience some distortion in KMKDIAG application
2. Signals A0-A15 and D0 can be find on ANTIC, GTIA and POKEY as well, not only on CPU.
