CF for A2000/A3000?
I imagine this is totally whistling in the dark, but are there any SCSI-to-CF adapters or any cards made that allow a CF card to be used as a hard drive on an A2000 or A3000? I have one of each and it would be nice to be able to migrate off the ancient hard drives in them to CF cards, which have more than enough room on them for anything I'm going to with the machines.

you need an Acard SCSI to IDE converter.
http://www.vesalia.de/e_acard%5B4136%5D.htm  depending on your SCSI connections you may need converters to 68pin or 80pin depending.

Acard is expensive. If you need just 50pin USCSI try to look for a Yamaha V769970 SCSI IDE Adapter which can often be found on ebay for 10 Euro.

Interesting -- so all those cards you mentioned plug right into one of the SCSI connectors on my SCSI controller card?
OK -- so if I get one of these SCSI-IDE adapters, how do I connect a flash card to the IDE bus? I was looking on amigakit.com and couldn't find anything like that (the only compact flash related thing I saw there was a PCMCIA adapter). (Sorry if these are baby questions, but I was never into the A1200 scene, where I assume a lot of the IDE stuff came into play). |
