How did you go with the speed tests ?
I just got one of the new batches SCSI2SD V5 for my A500 with A590. Works well (so far). 7 and a bit GBs of HD space is handy on an Amiga 500.
I just want to get rid of the 40 Second boot up scan. Anyone got a way around that?
And mod the A590 to use the Amiga 500s power.
I've uploaded a blog of the setup narration here:
http://amiga.org/forums/blog.php?b=4022I get 1.02MB/Sec on a vanilla A500 with A590 KS2.05, WB2.1. I'm using a cheapy SANDisk 8GB Not sure if a different MicroSD card would make any difference to that.
My Aztec SCSIMonsterCF gets 1.4MB/Sec on the same Amiga Config.. But it has capacity limitations at 4GB and above. 2GB CF Cards seem to be the sweet spot for the monster.
Got to get around that 40 sec scan on start-up though. It only takes 8 Secs to boot WB2.1 once it actually boots.
