Seriously thinking of reviving my A1200 with a Micro Card as Harddrive.
However, witch is the most stable/best? The CF card solution or the SD card? Heard people having problems that data went corrupt on certain CF Cards. Witch are best of CF and SD? And what brand?

Also like the PCMCIA memorycard reader thing to transfer stuff from PC to Amiga. Thought about doing a network thing between the PC and Amiga, but I guess that will be a hassle.
Or does anyone have good experience with that? Is it easy, or does it take alot of tweaking on both the Amiga and in Windoz?

So have we stated that using a CF to IDE is better than SD to IDE?
Or does it not matter? Both work just as good.

Thanks for the feedback. Think Im gonna go for the CF IDE thing internally in the A1200, and also get the PCMCIA 5in1.
Got a bunch of SD cards from earlier Digital Cameras, but no CF cards, so that was the reason for asking what was best for use as "main" HD. Feel most people state that CF is best.

Next up is getting a cheap PCMCIA network card. Connecting the A1200 to the windoz box.
I guess the PCMCIA 5in1 thing will get somewhat redundant if I get the network thing to function.
But it will probably be a nice thing to have until/IF I even get the network going (I have my doubts :D)
