Re: SCSI2SD adapter
« on: March 23, 2016, 03:25:09 AM »
I'm using it in an Amiga 3000 with a 16GB microSD as my main HDD, replacing one of 3 old SCSI HDDs.

I am now configuring a second one to be used in my external SCSI device or side card, where my CD ROM unit is.

I bought 2 SCSI2SD in case I fried one since I am not a hardware type of guy. :laughing:

Today i got mine SCSI2SD adapter and installed it in my A590.

I first tried my smallest micro-sd of 2gb. It seem to work, but gave me block errors when i tried to copy my WHDLoad games to the card from my a4000 by a cardreader.
Same on the pc with winuae.

So i tried a 16gb card. My a590 says its only 2gb (it did recognize my quantum 4.2 gb correctly so must me the adapter). But its enough.

this time i could put my files on the prepped card (prepped on the A500/A590) But only the first partition. The second partition is seen as unformatted in WINUAE and on my A4000 (cardreader).

But i managed to restore my boot partition to the card and copied most games already. I created 2 partitions of 1 gb each. Thats more then enough for this machine.

Oh, and the speed is about 800kb/s. Thats about 200kb/s slower then with my scsi drive. But you dont notice this when working on a stock a500 with only 3 mb of memory.
