I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but I’ve never been able to get a CF adapter that plugs directly into the board to work. The first two pictured are a no go (set to master or slave, I’ve tried it all), but the third with a ribbon cable works like a charm every time. This is true for both the new image as well as the old SETMAX method. I can also confirm neither of the two DOMs pictured work on my board. Super finicky.

I sure have. It’s bizarre. I’ve always assumed these were just pass throughs.
I don't know about yours but on my wargods board the IDE connector receptacle is mounted the wrong way, the recess for the key should be on the same side as pin 1, on my board it's facing pin 2 side.I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but I’ve never been able to get a CF adapter that plugs directly into the board to work.

It was not an issue with the ST9420AG hard drive as the connector has no key.
If your DOM modules or other CF adapters has a key, it should be inserted with the key facing the outside of the board.

That probably explains why the plastic connector is broken on my board. But no, I knew the correct orientation from the ribbon cable that was attached when I got it. Good thought though.I don't know about yours but on my wargods board the IDE connector receptacle is mounted the wrong way, the recess for the key should be on the same side as pin 1, on my board it's facing pin 2 side.

do you use 512 mb CF for this?
and @Scarletspeedstr this is the 3rd adapter you said worked: https://www.amazon.com/ASHATA-2-5-inch-Compact-Adapter-Support/dp/B07NS9JD6G ?

Yes, that looks like the same adapter. I’m using 4GB cards (Transcend and Verbatim), not sure I have anything on hand that’s smaller.

Can confirm that a second Apacer 4GB DOM I tried DOES work. So I have one that does and one that doesn’t. Both work in Windows and I wrote each of them with CHDMan.
I can also confirm that swapping the battery on the board fixes the max volume setting at boot. That’s been a really annoying thing that I’ve been meaning to fix.
