Features: reliable work with new Compact Flash cards
very fast - up to 3MB/sec reading possible - fastest seen on ST(E)
TOS 1.04 - 2.06 for ST machines. 2.06/1.62 switchable for STE.
Socket (connector) mounted in machine case , accessible from outside.
Cost of adapter self: estimated price is around 40 Euros.
Comparing it with UltraSatan and other solutions:
Not just connect to machine and use type.
Much faster. Not only mass storage - TOS upgrade too. High speed offers some new things.
While other solutions go on usual hard disk drivers like Hddriver, this will work with own, special
driver.
Because this needs some solderings, cuttings in machines, I plan for beginning to not sell
kits. Who is interested need to post me machine for upgrade. It costs of course, but beside
adding adapter in machine, I will do some fixes by need. Here thinking on weakened electrolyth
capacitors in machines in first place - what is now, when they are over 20 years old very common problem.
Recommended to who :
People wanting to use old, good SW in more advanced/comfortable way than from floppies.
Most of SW can run from hard disk - there is already a lot adapted.
Those who like new solutions, speed.
For people wanting TOS upgrade, old ST(E) machines, needing little fixing.
I think that this is more useful than some accelerator, over 4MB RAM upgrade - because
their SW compatibility is pretty limited.
Let me know if you are interested.
