Title: Amiga 600 - CF to SD adapter?
Post by: circlip on July 17, 2009, 12:12:04 PM

Hi all,

I've heard of people sporting Compact Flash cards for their Amiga's, including A600's.

Wondering though, due to the popularity now, and cheaper, is it possible to use an SD card in an adapter for CF, then an adapter to IDE? Or even a micro SD card, in another adapter?

Basically it would be:

IDE -> CF -> SD adapter -> SD card    or...

IDE -> CF adapter -> SD adapter -> Micro SD adapter -> Micro SD card.

Is the A600 compatible with either setup, and is loading quick like a CF card? I just want things to load quickly, and keep the cards cheap, as SD's and Micro SD's are cheap these days. Plus I already got these cards available. :)

How about an IDE-SD adapter (http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/adidesd.asp)?
