sd & micro sd cards on A1200

[delshay]

has anyone tryed the above cards on A1200?
if successful what adaptor was used?

[Sandman]

No matter what I tried, I couldn't get my A1200 to recognize my CF card thru a PCMCIA->CF adapter but SD cards on a PCMCIA-SD adapter showed up fine(Sandisk I believe).

The only micro-sd I have is a 2g Kingston and as far as I can remember that one didn't work.....

CF cards works in PCMCIA or on the IDE interface via a adaptor.

im need to know is there a problem with SD & micro SD adaptors via the PCMCIA slot on A1200.

Like I said....

I never could get a CF card to work in mine... What type do you have?  I sure wish I could as I have an A-DATA 4gb CF that I would love to be able to use.

My 1gb Sandisk SD card works great in the PCMCIA on my A1200 but not my Micro-SD. Your mileage may vary..........

Get yourself one of these.

I have tried:
This
and
this

They work nicely with 512 MB cards.
The SD adapter was tested with a MMC card.
However
You will need the HDtoolbox from os 3.9...
HDtoolbox from WB3.1 installdisk will provide an "unit is not a disk" error. Had though no problem prepping and formatting using FFS and hdtoolbox from 3.9

If you want a way of transferring data to and from your Amiga.
Get yourself a SCSI controller and a scsi zip for the amiga.
And a IDE zip for your pc.
IMHO it is the best way (without network) to transfer data to and from your amiga

I have used 2GB and smaller SanDisk SD cards with a Transcend 5-in-1 adapter.  I have also used my 4GB M2 with the same adapter.  Easy peasy.

[delshay]

are any of the devices PCMCIA..it needs to be PCMCIA.

[pyrre]

@ delshay
No they are IDE-CF adapters.
Why do they need to be PCMCIA devices?

I've been using this PCMCIA SD-card reader on both my A600 and A1200, and it has worked like a charm. And my micro-SD cards came with an SD-adapter, so they work fine too.

[skurk]

I'll join in by confirming that this one works fine in my A600 with a 1GB Kingston CF card.

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?

MICRO-SD card as a hardrive works ok i have OS4 loaded on this type of card but it`s not as fast as a COMPACTFLASH.

The worst CF card is a A-data card. It is slow and unstable. The best CF cards I used are Kingston and San disks as hard drive.

The PCMCIA card readers I used are from SAN Disk. I just bought another one.

When I use to transfer files, I use the Sandisk Ultra II or III of 2 GB. I cannot get a 4 GNb CF card working with CFD driver.

Personally I use a CF to IDE adaptor in both my a600 and a1200. To trnasfer files to and form amiga <-> pc I just use WinUAE. It works perfectly.

In my A600 I use a 1 gig CF card and in the 1200 I use a 4 gig one...
