Buddha 2018

Oh that would be mad convenient if they did. Those look great!

So I have two of these, and not one of them works with anything OTHER than the included DOM. I can boot to the nice installer menu it has on that DOM, but thats it. I have about 25 drives here, all are not detected. Every CF adapter of various types are not detected, none of my IDE2SD adapters are detected with disks in them, so all I can do is format the DOM it came with, and I dont want to do that.

When you go into the setup you get an HDtoolBox like interface and it shows just the DOM. Its sad, because I had one of these back when it was integrated with a catweasel and it worked perfectly. I had it in my A3000 that was in an Elbox Mirage tower and mediator back in the day.

Well, I went ahead and bought two of these adapters - we'll see. I'm more interested if they'll work with the IDE4Zorro card. I'll probably get the new Buddha depending on how all these troubles get worked out. I see that Acill also has tried many different drives & adapters to no avail. I've been looking at these adapters for a while though so, pulled the trigger.

And a 32 gig Sandisk microSD card today just in case all works out

If all does work out I will put the sd2scsi card in the external case with the scsi cdrom and leave all Ide in the A3000. Then upgrade that power supply in that old girl..

Thanks man.  I'm a professional musician and a struggling engineer.    Soldering is knitting for nerds.

@lost_loven

Your purchases are making me feel better... optimism!   Jens will figure out the issues.

Which sd2scsi adapter did you get?

This one?
https://amigakit.amiga.store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1264

Or this one?
http://amigakit.amiga.store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1314

Why does AmigaKit state that this 2nd card is Micro SD anyway? Anyone know if this 2nd card will fit in A590?

I can chime in on this as I own both.  I was only able to get the 1st one (rev 5) to work with my A3000.  While I could "see" the SD card hooked to a PC w/the rev 6, the drives I created always had problems.

If I created a drive on the scsi2sd v5 card when it was attached to the Amiga directly, it basically worked (though kinda wonky sometimes)

If you have a way of hooking scsi up directly to a PC, like a SCSI PCI card... (I do) then you can hook the SCSI2SD to your PC that way and access it via WinUAE.

Or at least this has been my experience.  I'm no master.

When I say I got ripped off, I mean I paid $17.00 each from "MyAmigaShop" https://www.ebay.com/itm/40pin-IDE-to-CF-Compact-Flash-Bracket-for-Commodore-Amiga-4000-A4000-Mac-PC/282845240303?hash=item41dae3dbef:g:qFEAAOSwnbZYDZc5 and you paid $3.00 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1XUseful-40Pin-ATA-IDE-to-Compact-Flash-CF-Adapter-Converter-w-PCI-Bracket-Panel/112672486148?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648 each! I think I overpaid! I'm sure that what you bought is exactly the same thing I bought so, I'm sure you're good to go.

However, I just noticed on the eBay link you posted that the seller says "[FONT="]This seller is currently away until 19 Feb, 2018." Plus the item is in China. Slow boat from Tuna Town! You don't have to wait that long do you?

I've been buying from MyAmigaShop for like 8 years, and although his prices have seem to skyrocket lately, his Amiga gear is always top notch! I haven't bought any of his recently expensive Amiga stuff though. I also ordered an A500 floppy drive with the IDE2CF adapters (the pristine A2K I just got had an absolutely trashed floppy drive & I want one NOW LOL) - good thing is, this guy ships FREAKY FAST and I know I'll have the stuff either Tues or Wed.
[/FONT]
I'm definetely gonna order a few of these though!

[lost_loven]

awh ok @Gizmo350   ... so I hope it works then the Cf adapter works..

As for the sata adapter understand I bought it in hopes that it would work.

in the past I bought a cheapo scsi 2 to wide adapter and it worked after some mucking around so I thought I would take the same chance.

Well, those IDE2SATA adapters you linked to are dirt cheap so no worries there! And they look a helluva a lot tidy-er than the old sata adapter I was trying to use. I'm gonna do a little ebay searching to see if there are any that will plug directly into the 40pin connector so no cable would be required... the search is on! :lol:

I was following some of your ebay links (which kept asking me to re-sign in) and realized they're from eBay Canada! I checked you sig.... YUP! You're from Canada! :lol:

[lost_loven]

I looked at one today as a matter of fact for the direct 40 pin connector adapters and read some reviews that they are to lose to just sit on a board. (here is link look at review) so that kindda put me off..

 https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX23755

had it in my hand in said nah! I rather something i can mount.. dont mind cables.

No, not really.... There are some CF cards made with industrial use in mind. Some CNC machinery can run programs of CF cards (with proper equipment, SD cards as well) and some cnc machines even run os from a cf card. or close resembling cf card nand.....
And then there is someone trying to explain the difference...

Yeah, and it's all just nonsense. I am telling you as someone who due to  guarantees and support agreements have had to use so called industrial CF and SD cards in various equipment. All experience says it's better, safer, cheaper and more convenient to use off-the-shelf SanDisk cards rather than whatever they ship as "industrial" cards to their OEM partners.

[kolla]

Its sad, because I had one of these back when it was integrated with a catweasel and it worked perfectly.

Same here. So what happened?

The reason he recommends industrial cards is because all industrial cf's are set to fixed disk mode. the old buddha(and idefix iirc) had problems with non fixed disk cards,which is why he did the true ide thing.

Industrial flash use SLC flash while most other consumer/commercial cards use MLC.
