This is a straight SCSI to CF adapter... why go from SCSI to IDE to CF?

It's a flash disk with a SCSI interface, but not an interface to arbitary flash cards. Having them removable would be useful.

The company also seems to make a SCSI-CF adaptor but they don't seem to ever turn up in the market and give the impression of being ludicrously expensive.

And if anyone can find someone actually selling the adtron CardPAK SCSI interfaces, I'd be very keen to hear about it!

Take your pick from these two, be prepared to remortgage your house though.

Thanks for that. I got quotes from the two of them and while high, they weren't astronomical. I think I should do lots of work with zip drives over the next couple of days to work up enough dislike of them to justify the significantly higher cost of using CF!

Just out of curiosity, how much were you quoted and for what size drive? I found a post H E R E regarding a S25FA-2GC01 . The guy asked for a a quote on a drive that should be no more than 2GB in capacity as his keyboard doesn't work with anything higher. He was given a price of $1146 and that was in May 2005!!

I've seen a Kingston 1GB CF card for ?17.99 (UKP), it seems a shame not to be able to make use of this technology.

I was chasing adaptors rather than drives, unfortunately.

For a 1GB Flash drive I was quoted (AUD) 840 + 10%GST. I presumed larger capacities would be more so never followed it up.

Knew I should have pursued that MPC research looks like these MicroTech SCSI triple media card readers would have come up if I had...

And I've just picked up two MO drives too.... damn

Edit: just got an email back from them, they can sell the card reader without an external case for $60.

My guess is that's cheaper than the adtrons...

In fact with a 1Gb card it becomes the best value flash device I've seen that I think will work with an eos.

Hey whats up gang?

Just joined your site to do some research. Dope site and I hope to be copping an emu real soon.

Re; Cf card reader.

I installed one of these on my mpc2000xl about a year ago. I reccommend. The reader is silent and infinately faster than zip etc.. Keep up the good work. If you like I could dig up some good links on the mpc-forums.com?

Peace.

Please do! The more info on this we have, the better.

Any further news on this? I'd love to get this working in my e6400 ultra.

So far I like the concept of this one: http://addonics.com/products/flash_memo ... bidecf.asp

Yeah. That looks ideal. I wonder if it works.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Me neither, but the other report in this thread made it sound like there's some kind of complication. I guess I should just try it. The adapters are dirt cheap.
