Thanks so much for the info!  I just went to CompUSA and had one put on hold with a 1gb sd card!  I'm moving into a new A1200 so I've been trying to squeeze stuff onto floppies!  I was about to move Miami over this evening...this will make that much simpler.

This will do fine until I can get a blizzard and scsi drive!  Heck, I've been using this sort of file transfer on my C64 for a bit now...didn't occur to me this would also be available on the Amiga!

This board rocks!

I picked up my Dazzle last night and got it up and running fairly quickly.  One thing that wasn't clear from the ReadMe's was how to access the sd disk.  I thought...plug in adapter, boot the card driver, load sd card.  Nope!

After reading the posts again I figured out that the Amiga could only sense a PCMCIA card change!  So the only way to get the disk recognized was to boot the CF0: device and then insert the pcmcia card WITH the memory card in place.

Worked like a charm after that!  BTW, I had a 1 gb sd card around so I thought I'd try it.  Either it's too big and I didn't wait for it to validate, or it's just too big.  The system wouldn't recognize it.  Is 256mb the largest usable card size?
