My combo of both SCSI Adaptor and CR Reader came in yesterday, my guesstimated ETA was way off
. Just in case someone cares to see what the innards look like in place:
The installation took about 15mins, the instructions are detailed and fool-proof. You'd have to take care in routing all cables in order not to pinch 'em anywhere, especially all around the SCSI adaptor. My setup is "active termination on" (no jumper set) and "SCSI ID1" (leaving the only jumper that came OOTB in place). I've put in the only card I had access to, a generic 32GB card. My MPC tells me there's a max of 26 partitions (A to Z) à 16/24/32/33MB each—is this all you'd get from any card above 858MB (formatted)? If so, a 1GB card should be all it takes per media as you can't address more than the figure above, right?
So far the only the no name card could be accessed, albeit any attempt of saving a file results in
"Checksum or allocation error while data transfer in progress. Stop using this disk, media or storage device to avoid further errors of this type. [FF10:306/29/00]"
I'll have to try much smaller cards I guess …
