This site (German text) covers modifications to the t5730. [Original link now dead but the article can be found here on the Wayback Machine.]


dr_klauf found a couple of useful articles on a Japanese website - so you may need the help of 'Google Translate' to turn them into your native language. The English version isn't brilliant, but, with a bit of thought, you can sort out what is going on.

t5730 Modification
The first link http://soltec.exblog.jp/13060498/ covers the basics of taking a t5730 apart and fitting a CF socket and Mini-PCI Express connector to the reverse side of the motherboard.

t5730 Modification
The second link http://soltec.exblog.jp/16570383/ covers the addition of a small switch to let you select whether the Compact Flash card or the IDE-connected Flash drive is the 'master' on the interface.

This modification does include the soldering of some surface-mount components.
