SCSI2SD adapter

[Macabre]

I know, its an old thread ... but it's the same subject ...

I think 2 mb/s is "fast" in a A590. My Quantum SCSI i use in an A590 is faster, but i only get just about 1 mb/s on a stock a500..

Hopefully i get mu scsi2sd adapter this week to replace the "airplain" in my a590.
But just wondering if  can prep an SD card and use WINUAE to install/backup everything..

On my A1200 en A4000 this works great, and also for making a hardfile as backup. Its simply a lot faster .

Today i got mine SCSI2SD adapter and installed it in my A590.

I first tried my smallest micro-sd of 2gb. It seem to work, but gave me block errors when i tried to copy my WHDLoad games to the card from my a4000 by a cardreader.
Same on the pc with winuae.

So i tried a 16gb card. My a590 says its only 2gb (it did recognize my quantum 4.2 gb correctly so must me the adapter). But its enough.

this time i could put my files on the prepped card (prepped on the A500/A590) But only the first partition. The second partition is seen as unformatted in WINUAE and on my A4000 (cardreader).

But i managed to restore my boot partition to the card and copied most games already. I created 2 partitions of 1 gb each. Thats more then enough for this machine.

Oh, and the speed is about 800kb/s. Thats about 200kb/s slower then with my scsi drive. But you dont notice this when working on a stock a500 with only 3 mb of memory.
