A2000

Iggy, great find. I have the Mechy SCSI card reader in my A2000, and A500+  both.  They work great and makes moving files from PC to the Amiga easy.  If your PC doesn't have a reader, you can get one for $15.  I think Mechy got some more of them in.  From experience, I know they will work with the A2091.  I think the GVP controllers are best, as they recognize LUNS almost instantly, which means you can plug a CF card directly in the CF slot, and not worry with the PCMCIA adapter, but it boots just as fast.  If you use an A2091, it takes it about 30 seconds to scan the LUNS, before it boots.  You can use the PCMCIA adapter, and disable LUNS, and it boots instantly, but lose the other slots in the reader.  I use the SCSI controller on my GVP combo card, but also use one in my A500+ with a GVP A500 HD+8, which is essentially the same as the A2000 HC+8 for the A2000.  I also use one with a GVP Impact A2000-HC, which is the same, without the memory.  You don't have to worry about moving parts with this solution and can have multiple CF cards for any different OS you want to run.  They mount perfectly in one of the floppy drive slots.  Whichever route you go, good luck and have fun.  I love modifying my A2000.  My A500+ was originally an A500 Rev. 5, and I bought a + motherboard, and upgraded it.  I really enjoy doing stuff like that.  Glad you got the A2000 and everything is working.

I would like to know how your able to transfer files from PC to SD card and back into your Amiga.  I tried putting my Amiga SD into my PC and my system didn't even recognize the card.  I was unable to access it at all.
