scm PCD-50B question

[PanterHZ]

I had the exact same problem with the card reader in my A1500, where I could get HDToolBox to recognize both a CF and SD card, but not at the same time. After an whole evening of LUNacy, I finally gave up and tried HDInstTools instead, which worked like a charm. The reason for this is because HDInstTools has a Last Lun option, and something similar seems to be missing in WB3.1 HDToolBox.

Now I'm able to use three cards at the same time if I want to (PCMCIA-CF, CF & SD).

HDinsttools does odd things to some cards i found, if you used it to partition,i have seen cards completely disappear and haven't figured a way to get them back,even formatting/partitioning in a pc doesnt help(ironically they work on the pc still).I dont know what this does to them,i recommend avoiding it.

Must say that I have never experienced any kind problems like this by using HDInstTools, but then again I have mostly used it with disks connected to the A1200 & A600 IDE controller. Maybe it's just a SCSI thing?

That's the same thing that Thomas said to me recently, when I had an unrelated issue.  My problem actually turned out to be me being a dumbass and not using HDToolbox correctly, coupled with having one bad card that was throwing me off.

In Curtis's case however, maybe his limiting factor may be the 3.1 version of HDToolbox?  I swear by the 3.9 version, however, and would use that over HDInstTools, any day.  

I have to agree, OS3.9 HDToolBox is the best for setting up harddisks due to so many reasons. But in case this is not possible, I use 3.1 HDToolBox for disks up to 4GB, and HDInstTools for disks larger than 4GB.
