Has anyone any experience with these? Looks like a neat alternative
to having separate scsi-ide bridge and ide-cf adapter.

Where did you find it ?
Looks like an interesting alternative
It's like having an ACard together with an CF2IDE adapter. Pretty neat actually but for 90 euro not so appealing.
I prefer the 3.5" SCSI Multicard Reader though better that can use other cards (not only CF) as well at a much lower price :)
Lovely piece of kit! When the price goes down I'll think about one. :nod:
I'm running one of these in my A500 with a GVP-Impact Series-II, replaced ROM. Works fine for older CF cards like my hokey 128mb's. Newer 4/8gb's the problems I have is that both GVP, C= and aminet hard disk partitioners tend to read/guess the disk geometry wrong.
Also with larger/modern cards, Maxtransfers becomes an issue. After a lot of trial and error setting it to 1fc00 seems to keep it happy. Flies in the 500.
I have a second one that runs in a stock config on some of my DEC gear.
But yeah, works fine with a few hours fiddling/experimenting.
Looks like this could fit nicely in my cdtv :)
I've used one of these, also in GVP kit.

It works very well with the same exception; drive geometry is incorrectly reported. Im pretty sure this is due to the rom controller chip of the GVP and not the AztecMonster itself.
:)
I have several of these, both the 2.5" and 3.5" versions. They're mostly in my Macs, but I do intend to put them into Amigas as soon as I find the time.
(It's pretty amazing to have a dead silent Mac Portable.)
They're just great. Expensive though. I buy them from the Japanese manufacturer on Ebay. They're a great alternative to the SCSI-IDE bridges out there. Being a single piece of kit helps a lot when you're using them in tight spaces as a drop-in replacement for a SCSI HD.
I have 2 of this in my Amiga.
It works very well on CSPPC (OS4) and the second one on A3000 built-in SCSI. In both I have new 4 GB CF and it works without any problem. Very fast also.
If you need any specific information about this device let me know.
That sounds promising. How much speed does that give?Quote:
