Re: SCSI2SD & Amiga's

What version of the SCSD2SD V5 do you have? The V5.1 was reworked to boot faster (so claims the site here ) and the V6 boots even faster I believe. No idea, I will look someday when I pull it back out :-)

Well, my comment is purely based on "non vintage" specific things. I've a fetish ( ok ok, I know ) for xeons. On current hw there are various things with actually balanced / good prices to be found. But xeons tend to be valued more than they should Again, personal opinion ( and these things are

Am I correct that a v5.1 SCSI2SD should work just fine? Anything I need to be aware of? I run a SCSI2SD on my A2500 with whatever SCSI card it has by default. The only issue that I have is the SCSI2SD boots slower than the Amiga, so when I power on the Amiga I have to wait a few seconds then

Amiga - AmiFast 3000

Anyone have any experience with these? When I installed in around ’97 or ’98, it just worked. Now I’m seeing 0 bytes of Fast Ram on my Amiga 3000, I just see 2MB Chip RAM. I don’t even know if I can boot a base AmigaOS 3.1 with Video and Ethernet drivers. :-) Zane
