The IDE2PCC is a cost effective and easy to use adapter for connecting PCMCIA PC Cards ATA with true IDE interface (PC Cards) to the standard IDE port of a single board computer (SBC) from MPL or other manufacturers. The IDE2PCC adapter has up to two PC Card Standard slots for type I, II or III cards. Allowing the use of any 5 V PC Card ATA or PCMCIA ATA card.

For mechanical fixing in MPL's PIP family, the IDE2PCC can be connected to the PC/104 slot. The PC Card slot is then available on the right side of the PIP case. For mounting on top of other SBCs, the mounting holes defined in the PC/104 specification are available.

The IDE signals are connected to the IDE2PCC via a standard 40 or 44 pin IDE cable. The power is distributed either with the 44 pin IDE cable or through the PC/104 connector.
