Installation of Amigakit's SCSI to Micro SD card adapter

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I assume you mean "Amiga 3000" not "Amiga 300".  

If you want to watch a painfully long and dull video, I recorded installing 3.9 + BB1-4 a year or two ago on Youtube:

Part 2:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufCuW--Q2nA

It was good practice since I hadn't done it in a long time, but I made a few obviously dumb mistakes, like forgetting to check the "bootable" box in HDToolbox on my main Workbench partition.  

Not much has changed since then but there's a new version of BB3&4 available now that was the subject of another recent thread on here.

Here's how I would do it (using the copy command):  http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=771467&postcount=4

Assuming the Amiga sees it as a regular hard drive, your limits are the same as for any other Amiga hard drive.  Typically 4GB, 8GB, or 127GB, depending on a whole bunch of things like your controller, OS version, file system (FFS, PFS, SFS, etc.), and a slew of various other things.

I think there's a few people who've hacked their Amiga's to support 2TB drives, it all just depends how much work you want to put into it.

I would set up myself partitions and format first on amiga before messing with it winuae. Right?

I wouldn't do anything on WinUAE, but I'm a bit of a purist.

So what format would be recommended for a 6t4GB card, FFS, PFS or SFS)? I believe FFS only works for cards of up to 4GB, is this right?

FFS can support much more with the latest updates in 3.1 or 3.9.  Personally I would go with the latest version of PFS3-AIO.  I really struggled with it when I first started using it, and couldn't find a good guide to getting it set up, but once you get the hang of it it's great.  You'll want the pfsformat command and other tools from this link, also.  Others swear by SFS.

Here's a FAQ that gives an almost overwhelming amount of info on Amiga hard drives:  http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?19899-CF-SD-and-large-drives-FAQ

Also look for any post by @Thomas, either here or on EAB, or his FAQ:  http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/4gb_faq.html

His Check4GB tool is helpful, too, to determine if your system supports large drives.

Personally, for me, 8GB was plenty for both my A2000 and A500, so I stopped there.  But if you google search and skim a couple of the threads by folks who've put 2TB drives into their Miggy's, you can see what kind of work they've had to do!

So, is this correct, or I can still use a larger size card?

I don't own one so can't say for certain, but I think the way the device works is, it defaults to a 2GB card, but if you want to use a larger card you just need to plug the reader into a PC (via USB) and use it's settings tool to tell it you're going to be using a larger card.  That's how I think it operates, anyway.
