Anyone interested in a run of an SD card based version of the floppy emulator?

[AltRN8]

I would be interested.

the Sd standalone, yes... but not the USB version..

Same here.  I wouldn't mind a standalone for my A2000, A3000 and A4000, but I have no interest in a USB-PC version.

The main question is how close the cost is to a Minimig which also uses AFD images on a SD Card...

Good to hear of the positive interest so far!

Keep the interest coming - the more the better!

Eeewww, connection to PC with USB cable? Kludgey.

Get rid of the PC crap and then call me.

Same here. Copy that.  XD

That is the whole point of this thread - to get a good indication of who would be interested in a run of the *SD card based version*.

So, I take it you'd be interested?

So you'd be interested in an buying an SD card based version as well?

[DyLucke]

a big YES for me, one or two units. And i know a lot of people who could be interested either in some spanish forums.

Would you be kind enough to help out and direct them to this thread? The more positive interest the better!

SD version only..absolutely zero interest in hooking up to PC

I'm interested in the SD card version... it would be quite useful for my A500 :-) but I'm not interested at all in the usb-pc thingie

The Stand-alone version could be of interest. But why not try to shrink the design down? The PCB could easily be reduced at least to half it's size. Most parts could be replaced with SMD counterparts (except for the LS-type logic IC's that are hard to find as SMD) and the PCB could be double sided. And that LCD should be hooked up with a piece of flat cable anyway to a suitable place at the case front.

Why not make it in a way that it replaces the floppy drive inside an A500 and the CF is inserted/removed from the floppy drive slot?

That would be real neat.

That would make sense although I'm not sure about where would you put the lcd screen and buttons to change the adf. If it took a 5 1/4 bay or even better a 3 1/2 one it would be easier to fit on big box amigas or external floppy disk cases (it would be easy to exchange df0&df1 and leave the ADF-SD as external unit connected cleanly to the floppy port and leave the internal floppy disk untouched as df1).

Would it be possible that the ADF-SD "emulator" could load 2 adfs as df0 and df2 for example? It would be more comfortable for multidisk games. The games usually only access one drive simultaneously so even if the chip was not capable of handling 4 drives simultaneously perhaps it could apply some "delay" to the other drives until the current operation is finished.

You cut a part of the case to reveal the screen below

OK ok, i have to revise this.
