CF card as cheap harddisk isn't dream

Yeah the limited read/write lifespan of CF cards is what has prevented me from using this in my Amiga so far. Frequent backups to more permanent media seem wise for anyone who has done this mod.

If you can get an IDE card for it, you can use the same IDE-CF adapters that others are using. I dont know if there's a SCSI-CF adapter, I kind of doubt it. IDE cards do exist for A2000s though.

If the 4000T has an IDE interface, it should. There are also ones for 2.5" IDE (A1200/600). I've seen a few with both 3.5" and 2.5" IDE connectors for under $20US.

Ive read some stuff saying that CF cards have a write cycle lifespan of 100000 (hundred thousand) rather than 1000000 (million)... if its really a million or two, that sounds worthwhile. I havent done it since I'd read 100000, which is fine for something like a camera but would suck on a computer.
