Hot Swap SD cards?
« on: July 13, 2011, 04:49:58 AM »
Just wondering if there was ever a fix made so you could do this on an Amiga.  I remember helping someone out on another thread and reading an IDEfix patch that said it made so you could USE SD cards, but it didn't specify to what extent.

Anyone have dealings with this?

There's an IDEFix patch to use CF cards, is that what you mean?
Hm, it is possible.  I might have mixed up the CF for SD (My brain, I tell ya...).  Are CF and SD cards unusable without special drivers or patches?

If it the same file I read through (I'll double check when I get home) it still doesn't specify if it setups a "removable disk" environment.  I know there were drivers made for other removable media that was IDE based (CDROM, LS120, ZIPP) so why not these?

IdeFix probably won't work with a CF unless it is patched,
Ok, I get that. So the patch on Aminet will only allow access to a CF or SD card but not allow for swapping right? Is it possible to create a driver or patch to do such a thing?

real IDE solid state HD's will be fine.
Oh, I'm VERY aware of that! :D

The scsi card readers i sell will do hotswap(except for the card you boot from-any card is bootable on good controllers) the other 4 slots can be hotswapped. the controller must support LUNS and Reselection.

so for example you can boot off the cf slot, then use the SD slot to hotswap or memstik,smart media,or the pcmcia slot with cf adapter.

This works on A4000t scsi, cyberstorm scsi and the fastlane scsi,i haven't had time to try hotswapping on the 2091(the readers do work on it w/6x rom and up.. 7 is recommended.)also works on the warpengine.

Mike

I have an A4000T and I would LOVE to put one of these in it!

Info please!

Oh, and the patch I was talking about was for CF readers working with IDEfix (IDEFix_Patches.lha on Aminet).
