Hello,

has anyone had success trying to use a CF card with a SCSI-IDE-bridge?

Given the fact that suitable SCSI hard drives are getting increasingly
difficult to find this sounds like a good idea, at least in theory.

I tried to use one on my MFX/2 without much success. The card is found and
its size is properly reported (I just used a 128 meg card since I had one
handy) however I have been unable to format it. Diskpart, Diskinit and
Scsiformat all report errors.

Hi Malte,

Good to hear from you !  :-)

I bought a MCDisk on ebay a few months ago. But had no time since then  
to my experiments...

My idea is to replace all the HD by CF cards. My main goal is to  
recude to noise in the room.

I already did that on the ATARI... I bought an UltraSatan SD reader.  
So a great product !!!  :-)

I plan to test it on both the Synclavier and the Foundation 2000. I'll  
keep you posted if it works.

Here is the product page : http://www.mpl.ch/t2331.html

Best regards.

      Laurent.

Hi 

Just bought a SCSI-to-IDE bridge and a 4GB CF card to replace the 4GB HD in my CMI.

My plan is to format and partition the CF card on my laptop (connected via SCSI) using the CMIOS9 program from the files section.
