Compact Flash Setup Recommendations?

[Psygnosis8]

I'm having trouble finding an AztecMonster CF adaptor.  There's none currently listed on Yahoo Japan.  Anybody have any suggestions on where to get one?  Or is there another SCSI to CF adaptor that's more plentiful that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

If you contact this seller on ebay, he normally has them. Even if they aren't listed.

Hey, man thanks!    I'll give it a shot.

Edit--errp, that's the guy I originally tried to buy it from.  He said that "when they come back in stock" he'd let me know.  I'm just worried that they never will...

Now that I think about it, I had to wait a little bit to get mine. But it all worked out perfect!

Good to know.  Thanks!

Anybody have any experience with a CF RaizinMonster?  They're more readily available.  I'm wondering what kind of cable you need to plug it into the X68000.

I've no experience of that but I'd recommend SCSI2SD over the others just due to cost and features/update frequency. Works on all models of X68000 too.

I've heard about that one, too.  I was told that the because of the slower transfer rate with sd, load times are longer.  Do you find this to be the case?

Price wise you can't beat it.

SD cards are pretty fast these days too but to be honest, on a system like this I can't see it being an issue. I've certainly not seen it to be a problem, it's plenty fast

I think robivy64 has tried both but I'm not sure.

I have both.
But so far, have installed them only on SCSI machines.

 Hi Costa !

Could you please run the attached software on both adapters and post the results ? Please see the attached picture for preview of what this software does. Execute it by typing dskbench <ID of the drive to be tested> (in my case dskbench 0).
