acard 7720u with amiga scsi-kit

[mrodfr]

hello,

I'm searching users with scsi-kit and using also SCSIDE bridge like SCSI Bridge acard 7720U on their amiga. Just to know if all work well before buying one of them with a big new HD IDE

SCSIDE ACARD 7720U is a SCSIDE for using an IDE ATA100 HD with a SCSIKIT (SCSI2) for informations.
the same exist with SCSI3 (68 pins) and also with SATA.


LAST minute question

BTW, The SCSI for blizzardPPC+ is SCSI2 (50 pins) or SCSI3 (68pins) ?????

Bye

You can use both 68 and 50 pins version with a Blizzard PPC SCSI controller, however in order to use the 68 pins version you will need an adaptor and yet another cable, so just get the 50 pins one.

I use both types, and they work very well. 2 on my A1200 with Blizzard PPC and 3 with my A4000 and CyberStormPPC.

hello and thanks for the answer

I could now buy an acard bridge an an ultra 100 IDE Hardrive and use without problems with my 1260+SCSIKIT.

the acard U version work on all SCSI with Blizzard if I understand well.

another question:

It is possible to add in the amiga an IDE DVDRW and burn DVD and DRDRW with makeCD or frying pan ???
please answer well and said if just CDRW or CD with a DVDRW with makeCD and/or frying pan and if directy burned or from an image first.

If you can answer about the speed of the DVD burning, It coul dbe also usefull for me

sorry if my english is sometime strange

I haven't tried to burn a DVD with my setup, since I haven't been bothered to mount my DVD drives in the computer. Around winter next year I'm going to get a new tower for the computer, and I will be adding DVD-RW drives to the system; I'm guessing you can't wait that long, so you just need to try it out, unless someone else has the answer.

However, I currently have 2 x CD-RW drive connected to ACard bridges, and I can burn a 600 MB from ISO in 2-3 minutes IIRC (been a long time since I did it). However, this is on a A4000 with CyberStormPPC 060/233 and UWSCSI controller. The A1200 is limited compared to the A4000, but nevertheless the performance should be much better than when using a IDE controller.

hello

a guy in a ML answer me also for this question.

he said he could use his dvdrw+scside as cd and cdrw writer with makecd but not trying to use frying pan (with his cyberstormPPC and uwscsi and his hypertech acard like bridge (seemed to 100% same hardware).

but I'm untill now not found same answer just with 1260 and scsikit (for the scsi2 controler 5mo/s max) and found none answer who arrive to burn DVDRW with scside bridge.

thanks for answering again.

I used an Acard with B1260 + SCSI kit without any problems as well , so the Acard also work with your controller. As for burning DVDs, it's just a matter of trying it out yourself.

hello,

I'm trying to found an acard in internet and finally it's hard searching around world and I think the best prize is in germany (52 euros). my country:france is 85 euros

vesalia amiga reseller in germany had a good prize and first woul d like to buy from them but the product isn't available actually (only the UW version). buying the UW fro m vesalia is more than 10 euros more for the UW and maybe 20 euros for the adaptator 50-68 !!!

maybe need to choose another reseller in germany but here It's hard because I don't know the reseller

I continue to search. not buying directly to acard taiwan ?? ;
