Did you know that you can read and write Amiga's native file system to and from a USB multi-card reader - CF Card specifically? Yea... I didn't! :hammer: Figured it out by accident!
Banging my head for months to get my A2K backups from a flash stick back to a CF card! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I have USB in both my A2k and A1200, restored my A2K BU's using my A1200! I'm freakin HAPPY! :laugh1:
Transplanted my Mech SCSI card reader into my A2K tonight (ditched the Buddha!) and all is right in Miggy Land! :)

Oh, man, I thought that was common knowledge. I did the same with my old A4000 CF to essentially copy its setup to my 1200 a long time ago. Just took the CF out of the IDE adapter and slapped it into the PCMCIA adapter.
Our lady is quite amazing :)

Every time I've inserted an AOS formatted CF card into the A1200 PCMCIA adapter it just shows up as drive uninitialized. Just figured that the PCMCIA slot would only read fat/fat32.
I meant one of these USB adapters plugged into the Subway USB port.

I was surprised when the OS39 & Work partitions showed up on the Workbench screen. :idea: So I copied my BU files from the USB stick and it worked. :)

Yep, i setup alot of cf's and other stuff off the a4000 deneb usb. works great. make lotsa bootable cf's for my other machines.
the scsi card reader can also have a fat formatted cf,sd,memstik,etc in any slot setup to transfer files from a pee-cee if need be.
