Card Adapters

-Acid- · 26 December 2016, 12:43

I've noticed recently that adapters for flash cards have stopped working the LED properly, does anyone have links to known good Amiga ones?

I bought some of these SD adapters http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232181531922

I first used them in my towers in drive caddy's through ide splitters and the LED works perfectly in those. But when I put one into my wedge A1200 directly on the IDE port the LED is permanently lit (i've test it with a buffered interface too and it's still not right).

Next I bought some CF adapters and when they came they are the VH.1 versions. Absolutely zero LED activity in an Amiga from these but the work otherwise. I have seen VH.2 versions but want to know if they work the LED properly... has anyone tried them?

I have a couple of VH.0 versions still which work perfectly but would like some more, has anyone got a link to someone selling these for Chinese prices? (ie i'm not paying £3 plus to someone in the UK who bought it for £1 from China and waited for it to arrive).

Does anyone have any other cost effective alternatives? Any good solid state drives for a reasonable price completely working properly with the Amiga and the LED's?

cannot say anything about those boards, but Zetr0 made a guide for an inexpensive solid state drive alternative.

I bought a pack of ten recently which seem to work as intended with the drive led. Unfortunately, that means you'd pay more than £3.

These work just fine here, as intended.
