Help with installation of Amigakit's SCSI2SD micro SD adapter in A3000

[WeiXing3D]

*Welcome, and it was a pain at first with no DOCS!

1. I didn't do much, just connected it and it powered with the usb, updated firmware, set my size under device 1 i set it to scsi id 4. Left it all as one disk size. I think I enabled scsi 2 mode under general also..( Cant remember sorry) I will pull the card out and snap pics of settings if like. My actual Hard drive was scsi id 5 and cdrom was id 6

2. I put the Scsi2sd card at the end of the scsi chain on the internal scsi since it is self terminating.  I do have a External cdrom that is terminated that that other side of the chain. My harddrive that I copied from I booted it and from that and went into HDInstTools 6.9 and clicked on partition drive. From there I set my drive sizes on the 16 gig card into 4 partions. (hd0,dh1,dh2, and dh3) Dont forget Dh0 make bootable.
On the main screen of HDinstTools on file system I use ffs 43.20 which works fine for me.
From there save exit reboot and depending on the how you have your scsi chain set with your drives you may have to enter the early start up and select your old drive to boot off. Once in Workbench I selected my drives and quick format on them all. Dont do regular. it will make a muck of things from what i read. (never tried, always did quick).
from there I loaded Opus (or what ever you like to use DM2 etc) and copied everything over to the drive. This might take longer than doing it on winuae but I like doing things native on the system.  
Once it was all copied I shut down, disconnected the old hard drive and rebooted and worked fine.  Well as fine as it would be when i figured it all out lol.
 
3. I didnt install 3.9 . no use for me as all i do is putz around utils, games etc.

4. see 2

5. see 2.

6. I haven't tried SFS . not really think its worth the hassle or is needed for what i do TBH.  I just use the classic Workbench by bloodwych



hope this helps alittle.

Thanks a lot. I am now getting a more clearer picture and gaining confidence.

Can I still use a 16 GB card using FFS as the file system?

here is some pics, I did the 4.6 firmware update too.. don't forget to  load from device when starting to get your settings and save when done.

sure why not, but please some one correct me if i am wrong but I think there is that 4 gig limit. I set 3.8 gig ish to be safe. I think there is a list somewhere that tells the limits of every file system and version for the amiga os.

Does it mean that I will only be able to use 4 GB out of the ~16GB sapce in the card?

Thanks for your clarification.

Continuing with my saga. I was wondering if this guide https://youtu.be/hM7F-mGNFMY (How to add a 8 GB Compact Flash hard drive to your Amiga 1200) would also work to prepare a micro SD card to be used with an Amiga 3000? And if so, what modifications are needed when considering that this guide is for CF card using an IDE connection.

I've installed PFS in both machines (A1200 with CF-IDE and A3000 with HDD-Internal SCSI) and I can't remember nothing specially different between them.
As for your partition tool detects the drive, the steps are the same. I've never used a partition bigger than 4GB tho...

Trying to get this going on a Warp Engine 3040.  Not having any luck.

Does anyone have this working on the WE NCR scsi?

Thanks!
