An ACard adapter with an IDE to SD converter doesn't cost much more and performs a lot better.


Sure, if you like daisy-chaining a bunch of stuff. :lol:

My question is how do you use these things?
I plugged one into my scsi chain on my 4000T. It doesn't even show up to prep!

C'mon now, what else have you tried?

Just from looking at the picture, have you tried:  remove the resistors?  Add the resistors?  Remove the jumper?  Add the jumper?

I assume you have a MicroSD card already inserted?  I can't tell from the pic, is there some way of changing the ID?

It didn't come with any instructions at all?  Bah.  :(

Maybe try unplugging all the other devices from your SCSI chain and seeing if it's recognized then?

according to the specifications its only 2.5mb per second.


2.5MB/s is plenty for many Amiga systems. A2091, most GVP "hardcards", A500's with sidecars, unaccelerated/68000 systems, etc. You're more likely to hit the limits on your bus before you'll hit the limits on this device.  Not everyone has a CSPPC to hook it up to!  :laughing:

Is the Amiga bus that slow?


I should have said "or controller". Zorro II tops out at around 3.5MB/sec, AFAIR, but a lot of old controllers can't even reach that.

Dragging up this old thread.  I finally got one of these adapters to test in the GVP sidecar on my A500, since the case can't close anymore with the Guru-ROM sitting in its PCB adapter sitting underneath the Mechware card reader.

Adapter arrived quickly from AmigaKit already flashed with what appears to be the latest firmware (4.7.1), kudos for that.  :)

Prepped an old 4GB MicroSD on my A2000 (via card reader), popped it in the adapter, and popped the adapter into the sidecar.  On preliminary tests it seems to be "okay", in that the Amiga sees the card reader and can read the data off it that I put on there with my A2000, I was able to load SysInfo from command line (off the MicroSD when booting with no startup-sequence), but am getting a lot of errors related to HD_SCSI mode.  I'm thinking this is something I need to enable on the device but none of the options are quite clear (screenshots attached).  Any suggestions?

Edit - file system is PFS3-AIO if that makes a difference.

Edit 2 - removed one of the screenshots that wasn't actually an issue with the SCSI2SD.

Edit 3 - looks like I need to check the box to enable SCSI 2, per this thread.  Might've just solved this myself, LOL.  ;)
