Installation of Amigakit's SCSI to Micro SD card adapter

[lost_loven]

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?

I don't own one so can't say for certain, but I think the way the device works is, it defaults to a 2GB card, but if you want to use a larger card you just need to plug the reader into a PC (via USB) and use it's settings tool to tell it you're going to be using a larger card.  That's how I think it operates, anyway.

Thank you for your help.

I also got a similar replied from Arnie at EAB who shared this:
You need a micro usb cable and the software.

Connect the SCSI2SD card to the PC and use scsi2sd-util.exe to alter the settings.

The other exe monitor.exe just checks that the SCSI2SD card is connected and working.

If you feel comfortable doing it then the firmware needs upgrading to 4.6 (It may already be upgraded, but mine came with 4.4)

Well, I ran the firmware upgrade (now v4.6), and the monitor.exe routine says that everything is fine, but I can't make the adapter to save the 4GB new size configuration. It reverts to the default 2GB. See picture.

Any ideas? I'm guessing is because the actual space in this brand new 4GB is not 4GB, but 3.xGB.

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..

Well, precisely, I am selecting 4 GB for device 1 from the utilities.exe, but it is not saving the new size and it goes back to 2GB.

Why is this? What else do In need to do besides clicking Save to Device?:hammer:

[lost_loven]

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 ?

Check your cable? some are just for charging not data exchange...

Cable is good since I used it to update the firmware
