Dual CF - CF to IDE adaptors. Work or no?
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:12:40 PM »
Alright, here's the deal. About a year ago I purchased one of those DUAL CF card CF to IDE adaptors. Upon installing it into my 1200 I came to find that I could use either side of the adaptor to place my CF card, but I could not use them both at the same time.

I had written concerning this issue and was told that I can not use such adaptors on the Amiga in the way I was expecting, thus making the purchase pretty much null and void.

Though, in the recent issue of Amiga Future I see an advert for one of these within its pages...

 So am I to assume that these do work and that the particular model that I purchased just does not? If this is the case, which model should I buy off Ebay?

I have dealt with a lot of file corruption with SD and related cards where as the CF cards have yet to screw up my data. That's my reasoning.

Can someone post Ebay (or related) links to ones that do work fine with the 600/1200?

I don't see a BUY link on this Mesa page...
