Just ordered !!, great little SCSI adapter and price by the looks of it , never used micro sd on my CDTV only cf but will give it a shot

McTrinsic · 23 November 2015, 13:29

Could someone please report the biggest SDHC-Card used??

Phantomz · 12 December 2015, 18:04

I've never had an external hard drive for the Amiga 500, would this work in a " GVP Impact Series II " ?

I know amigakit states that it works in the A590, but if I get an external hd for my 500, I think I'd prefer a gvp one as I think it looks better.

Yes they do work in the GVP, guy on here from Iran has fitted one in his

Cool, thanks for letting me know.

This is working great with GVP a500-hd+ Impact II only this is that its giving 1mb sec only

I think that is the maximum speed of the asynchronous SCSI bridge they use.

How did you get on with this in the CDTV?

I'm looking at getting one for my CDTV, would be nice to hear if there are any problems.

The SCSI2SD (older PCB version) has been working fine with my CDTV. I have yet to test the newer one.

Speed varies - my stock A3000 gets up to 1,75 MB/s (older SCSI2SD, Firmware 4.4), while my 060 Cyberstorm MKII-equipped A4000 will give me only 1,1 MB/s (newer SCSI2SD PCB, Firmware 4.5).

I'm going to replace all my slower machines' SCSI-disks with these things - the lack of noise is argument enough.

Good to hear. Unfortunately Amigakit are out of stock at the moment so I'll have to wait a while.

McTrinsic · 10 January 2016, 08:57

I have a question to those who own this.

Can you use this as a Card Reader, i. e. use all kind of Card sizes, or does this have to be initialized with/for a specific card you want to use?

Thanks,
McT

Arnie · 11 January 2016, 13:18

Can anybody confirm what type of SD card is used with these. Is it SD or micro SD?

supaduper · 11 January 2016, 13:35

Micro SD bud

Arnie · 13 January 2016, 15:25

I've preordered mine for my CDTV

What speed rating of SD card should I go for?

Do you need to use SFS/PFS3 for cards bigger than 4gb with this SCSI device?

For anyone within North America, you are invited to order additional SCSI2SD adapter bundles (with a choice of microSD densities) at
http://store.inertialcomputing.com or on eBay, at http://stores.ebay.com/inertialcomputing

Purchases of three or more units at once will have a 10% discount automatically applied, and flat-rate shipping of $5.25 within the US48.

The firmware that was flashed at the factory for the current batch of SCSI2SD adapters which is being sold is 4.4. I'm happy to update units you order from me; It takes about 30 seconds to do.

Firmware revision 4.6 was just released on January 11th of 2016, and improves and addresses the following issues:

Fixed bug when using sector size that isn't a multiple of 4 (eg. 522 bytes)

Fixed a bug that caused hanging or scsi phase errors on high speed scsi hosts.

Fixed a hang when processing a SCSI RESET in a data phase.

scsi2sd-util: Fixed USB connection problems under Windows 10.

Added option to treat LUNs as separate devices

Improved boot up time. It is now possible to replace the bootloader with a version that doesn't pause for 2 seconds (bootloader). This is required on some Amigas. Replacing the bootloader CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE if it fails half-way, so do not attempt this unless necessary.

In order to update your firmware, you need an Intel PC, Mac, or Linux machine. Firmware itself is flashed to the device with a micro-USB cable, using the scsi2sd-util program, which you can get from http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/ind...=SCSI2SD#Files, as well as this firmware bundle

Hi all,

Can someone with the SCSI2SD hooked up to a CDTV let me know what settings they configured the card with please?

I have tried a pre-made in uae 1GB SD, with CWB 68k, and i cant get it to boot?

Thanks.

Arnie · 20 January 2016, 22:20

Mine arrived today but the sd card I ordered hasn't arrived yet.

Without the SD card inserted the SCSI2SD hangs the CDTV. Is that normal?

@rave

Have you re flashed the firmware to 4.6?

rave · 20 January 2016, 23:35

Hi Annie,

I haven't tried that to hang the CDTV, I'll do it tomorrow evening and let you know, but it would stand to reason that it would I think.

Yes, i have the 4.6 firmware on.

supaduper · 21 January 2016, 09:01

Cheers for the firmware upgrade aperez

Try reducing the card size to 1gb with the scsi2sd-util.
