CF vs. SD

[LoadWB]

At VCF SE 5.0, we tested the SCSI2SD 6.0 on a Blizzard 1260 with the 1230 SCSI, booting and with SCSIBench.  I'm not sure if the video of the results have been posted, yet.

@nyteschayde,

Yeh, on all flavors. The one for UW SCSI to SATA is a fortune also!

Yup.  I ordered 10 direct from Acard (well, as direct as possible, through a tier distributor.)  I'm about to put what I have left of them up (both SATA and ATAPI.)  Amazes me how pricey they're going to have to be.

Keep an eye out on eBay,
I picked up 4 Acard 7720uw's for $60 each a few months ago.

I made mention a few months ago, and if I don't get them up before I leave Thursday I will next week when I get back.

For the price I paid to have them made (they are only made on-demand in 10s) and shipped I definitely can't meet $60 for the SATA-HDD models.  I have a few requests already and I'll be filling those before I post them up for general consumption -- I just ask a little patience while I have family in town and I'm having to re-integrate my office as my gov't contract ended (abruptly) just a couple of weeks ago.

I use smb-handler to a NAS to run my backups.  It's not always stable, but it works.  I've also used a USB stick and when I moved my system from the 18GB SCSI drive to the 120GB SSD I used the SSD on USB as the copy destination.

That is one thing that bothers me, though, is the absolutely and total silence of the system, now.  The only reassuring sound is the floppy drive seek.  Mind you, the 1200 has had its DoM for many years now so I did have a little forewarning.
