Installation of Amigakit's SCSI to Micro SD card adapter

[lost_loven]

I used a 16 gig card and works great. Don't for get to set you sd card size with the pc uitl .  After I set up the sd card I just set my partitions and quick formatted the drives and used opus and directly copied everything over from one drive to the other. And of course checked off that boot partition.. I think there is a thread somewhere here with pics and how I mounted it.. Maybe on AEB too.

i formatted and set up on a3000. but I haven't mounted it in winuae and copied stuff over, should work thou I would think.  I messed up in the beginning cause I didn't watch what file system I used and after hrs of coping stuff over a reboot lost it all lol.. so watch out for that too..  Anyhow mounting it winuae should take I bet easy. I would set up myself partitions and format first on amiga before messing with it winuae. Right?

I think it comes down to what you want to do with the system.. I just stuck with a classic wb install cause basically all I do is fool around and classic game with the system.. so splitting up a 16 gig card into 4 equal partitions is all I really need with ffs. Whdload, demos.. paint, mods..etc is all really.. not to mention networked does help alot to gettin what ever needed online and on the NAS does help too. Guess it would be different it if was a toaster system or what ever of some sort where speed and space was a value. .. What is the intent of the system everyone has today?

Guys. Thank you all for your responses. I am reading them carefully.

If I am understanding this correctly, I'm hearing from a similar post in EAB that there is a limitation as to the size of micros SD card that I can use, and that limit is 2 GB:

"You also need to take into account the size of the SD card and how much you want to use for the HD. The SCSI2SD comes preset at 2gb. Obviously if your SD card is smaller than that then you need to alter the size to match. Bigger than 2gb is not a problem unless you want to use more than 2gb, if so,then you will have to alter the size to match what you want."

So, is this correct, or I can still use a larger size card?

thats right.. Just connect the card to a pc via usb and set the size to what the sd card is. It got me at first too cause all it saw was 2 gig on a 16 gig card and i was like what the f .. . but reading into it i downloaded the util and connected it and set the size to what i was using..

I updated the firmware on the device too..and yes just selected save to device after setting size. maybe try a different usb port if no success ?
