Scsi to cf adapter

[gertsy]

This is true.  I will say you might be pleasantly surprised if you give the SCSI2SD a try.  I have several and for old narrow devices they work quite well... including me ol' Miggy.

They are nice. But slow. I have a CF Monster in my A500/A590 and it is twice as fast as the SCSI2SD. (bought 6 months ago) The SD handles greater capacity, but the Monster is faster.  I am guessing these ones are akin to the monster. But how much capacity you can carve out is a question.

Is the CF Monster the same as the Aztec Monster, or is it another product from the same developer? I got an Aztec Monster to put in my 4000T, but the thing is incredibly unstable and effectively useless. Planning on replacing it with a SCSI2SD, but if there are faster (stable!) options available I might go for one of those instead.

Yes, it is the Aztec Monster. Sorry. Mine works flawlessly (now) on an A500/A590 but I did have a heap of trouble and could not get it to work with CF Cards over 2GB. Even when configured and set up on my 1200. I found additional partitions above 2GB were being clobbered. Regardless of number.  After lots of logical troubleshooting I got it stable with one 2.1gb partition. I hasn't failed me since then. I got in contact with the Japanese supplier. Who was generally good BTW. He was sure it wasn't the card. But I didn't have this issue with the previous SCSI CF module.

Has anyone bought one of these yet and tried it out?

I have the SCSI2SD (both 6 and 5) and they're OK, but, the fastest I can get out of them is 1.8mb/sec, even on my Blizzard 2060's SCSI controller.

Yep same here. On a lowly A590. Tells you where the bottleneck is.
