iv gone the other route. SCSI to PCMCIA (dual slot)

config 1: use one SCSI ID but shows LUN 0 and LUN 1.

config 2: use two SCSI ID unit 0 and unit 1.

i can transfer data between two cards,unit fits in 3.5 inch floppy drive bay.
LEDS: power on. card inserted and card activity. if card is not compatible LED will not light-up.

don`t know transfer speed of CF cards as i only tested microdrive but it will be interesting to see what the speed is with CF cards.

@delshay,

That sounds like a neat solution...

Can you please tell me where you bought the SCSI->PCMCIA unit?

Would be a nice addition to an A2000 :-)

Cheers,

Mike.


i got mine years ago and its a little expensive at the time,just do a search on ebay for a cheap unit.

it will be interesting to fit this into a A1200 desktop.


NOTE: i also have floppy drive with built in CF/MEMORY stick ect built-in which i modifyed to work with the A1200/A4000.

so if you have a SUBWAY or somekind of USB interface the CF/MEMORY slot should work. it takes other types of flash device aswell,all in a compact floppy drive unit.

the floppy drive takes a standard 34 pin cable.

iv only tested the floppy drive part after modifcation and it works perfect,but the flash slot should work with USB interface. (this was one of my old projects).
