I have a noisy 3 gig scsi drive in my a1200.
if i could replace it with a SD adapter and expand the drive to 4 gig. or even add several such adapters. id be a happy man...
my girlfriend would get a new life... :D

For an A1200 why not use one of the CF adapters that are about a dime-a-dozen on most sites?  :lol:

Personally if I had an A1200 I'd get Kipper's external model:  http://www.kipper2k.com/cfadapters.html

Adapters for SCSI are a lot harder to come by.  For my money I still stand by the "Mechware" SCSI card readers, but scalpers have those all hoarded up now, you've gotta pay around $200 for one, these days.  :(

Because i already have several ide cf adapters.
but i want to run the os from the internal blizzPPC scsi controller. since it also is faster than the ide....
And i use my internal IDE for cd-rom only. with this adapter.
it makes cd-rom usage go faster. since it moves data from one interface to another. instead of drowning one interface with in and out data...
and i don't have any SCSI cd-roms... only disks and zip..


No, not really. This little devil should fix the availability issue....

LOL.  You didn't mention having a SCSI controller, you just said you  "have a noisy 3GB drive you'd like to replace".  Naturally one would  assume you meant on the IDE bus in reference to an A1200.

Also that device isn't remotely comparable to the ones I mentioned.

Oh well, I give up!  :bitch:

I have two of these adapters and they work well, but they aren't really fast. Around 2 MB/sec when being used on a CSPPC, but a great replacement for hdds in my GVP HD8+, A590 and CDTV. Have used 1, 2 and 8 GB cards.

Are you saying it's 2MB/sec with CSPPC, and a comparatively lower speed with that other hardware?  Or is it also 2MB/sec with A590/CDTV/etc.?
