New alternative to add a hot swap card adapter to SCSI Amigas?

[WeiXing3D]

Is this a new alternative to add a hot swap card adapter to our SCSI Amigas?

After I successfully installed a SCSI2SD micro SD adapter, I am now looking for a new project which would allow me to add a hot swap cf and/or SD cards. I came across this device from a Japanese manufacturer, so I wanted to hear from you guys if this would be of any use in our systems https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8...F3SDZlQUozWlU?

It is a CF PowerMonster II CF-2.5" SCSI Converter Card

Error 404 on link from here.

Link not working.  Anything with the word "monster" in the title makes me think of the AztecMonster, which has been used with occasionally good results in Amiga's.

Link also gave me a 404.  Then I tried again and it popped up and said it required a Dropbox account.  Why ya making things so difficult, just post a link to the manufacturer's website, eh?  :hammer:

Edit:  Added screenshot and link to Amibay thread.  Google, man.  Google.

Sorry my Internet is acting up today...you gotta love Xfinity:furious:

OK, one more time.

I know is a rendering from the user manual, but it doesn't look as the same. And this one is made in Kanazawa, Japan, or so they claim.

I found the webpage of the manufacturer here http://artmix.com/j_product.html

If it really works for us, I'll try to find it in Akihabara (electric town) in my next stop by Japan in a couple of weeks.

Need to know first it would work, but as per the thread shared by Oldsmobile_mike, it does.

Any idea on the cost and what the transfer speed is?

I have a similar device I use on my A4000T IDE header. They are not hot swap though. It treats it like a hard disk is all. You will need to still reboot to have a new card show up.  

The best way to go is using rapid road USB on the newer x-surf 100. I have had bad luck with USB and flash drives though. On both my RapidRoad and Spider USB card through the mediator I get a system lockup when moving large batches of files from them to my Amiga internal hard drives on CSPPC SCSI. Also does it if moving to RAM: (I have over 600MB)

But the question was about the SCSI bus, not IDE. You can get such devices to be shown if you rescan the SCSI bus for example with the UnitControl program (I don't know if this or other devices are designed to be used like that, but IIRC I've done that with removable SCSI harddrives years ago).
