Re: CF Card as a method of transfer?

I actually just recently got an adapter for my Amiga 1000 that is a DUAL CF card.
The MASTER card is currently 2 AmigaDOS partitions, but the SLAVE is a standard FAT card.

True, there's no hot swap, but it's nice if I want/need to transfer larger files (or a large amount of files) or for a backup of his main partitions...

I like the flexibility there...

Not quite the same thing, but with a Windows program to place files inside of ADF files (You can do this with WinUAE, but something like HFVExplorer for the Mac is more what I am thinking..), you could accomplish file transfers that way..

There was someone on EAB who had come up with a rudimentary serial port/thumb drive adapter.  It used a USB controller that has a built in thumb drive/file system support and he wrote a simple interface for transferring files.  It was slow but it worked..
