Did somebody try a flash disk inside an A1200 ?
« on: November 23, 2006, 04:02:38 PM »
Hello,

I saw these (not so expensive) products sold by Trenz Electronics :
Disk-on-module (128 MB - 2 GB)
http://shop.trenz-electronic.de/catalog/default.php?cPath=34
IDE Flash disks (512 MB - 4 GB)
http://shop.trenz-electronic.de/catalog/default.php?cPath=46

What do you think ?

Regards,

Frederic

@ Piru,

In the picture section, I have seen some compact flash modifications and one first generation flash drive add-on.
Not something like these ones.

You seemed to be sceptical about the product life, I am also. But the 15 MB/s transfer rate, the 0ms seek time and the low power consumption is tempting !

Regards,

Frederic

You're not going to get 15 MB/s transfer rate with A1200 IDE.

Yes, I know that :(.
