I came across some NOS Acard UW-SCSI to IDE adapters (Model ARS-2000LFS) and thought you might be interested..

Tested working on my Cyberstorm MK3, A3000 SCSI and A590 with Guru ROM.
Read speed on MK3 with my CF card 29MB/s. (marginally faster than 7720UW with same card)


Read before declaring interest:
  • It does NOT have termination, so use an active terminator or connect it between the controller and another device (had to use active terminator on a3000)
  • Being a UW-SCSI unit, it has a 68 pin connector. (The adapter is LVD/SE, but has a force SE switch)
  • Although it works fine on my CS MK3, A3000 and A590, I make no guarantees on compatibility
  • So far I couldn't make it work on Warp Engine, but I think it would work with my terminated 68p cable like the a3000 did. I just do not dare use force to get out the old cable :)
  • They are probably less compatible on other controllers than the 7720UW model. But in addition to CS MK3/PPC I expect them to at least work on other cards with Guru ROMs.
  • Updated: Read configuration in HDToolbox works with HDDs (See image 4), but like some other scsi-ide bridges it doesn't always read CF correctly. (Depending on CF card)
    But when prepped (By typing in drive geometry manually, or prepping in WinUAE or other amiga) it is working fine.

Withdraw interest. Sorry, didn't see the model number until I looked closely at the picture. This one isn't compatible with my controller. Good luck with the sale!
 
PM replied to Whaka.
No PM received from Candyman.

Pgovotsos: Which controller do you have?
 
PM sent to daJimbo, Milo and Torncore. Edit: And rotzloeffel!
Torncore is first in line for the last one if Candyman stays silent 24hrs from my PM (8hrs ago).

I'll update payment and shipment status in the first post. Hopefully I can send all of them together tomorrow.

Yes, did you not get my PM?
You'll get two, as I've written in PM and in the first post.
(Edit: Just forgot to write in the thread that i sent you a PM)

Update:
Money received from rotzloeffel.
PM received and replied to Candyman. (He will decide today)

To those who haven't paid yet:
It seems paypal now defaults to pay in local currency.
(My PRIMARY currency is EUR, and I don't even have a NOK paypal balance/account!)

Please pay in EUR, otherwise paypal applies ridiculous currency conversion rates to steal more money.
(Which even become 2x as I would have to convert back to EUR anyway)

Thanks.

Many thanks to frodegh who has waitend for me.
Unfortunately, after checking, for my setup I've discovered that I would need another adapter (from wide to narrow port) so it's better to leave my booking to torncore.
Thank you anyway.
 
All 7 units shipped. (updated first post)
