PCD-25b on ebay.

2014-02-26 by Ted Summers

HEADS UP!!

For those looking for a flash drive- this unit is the 2 slot allowing you to have 70 banks!!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microtech-PC-Card-Reader-Writer-SCSI-PCD-25BHSF-/191078002136?pt=US_Solid_State_Drives&hash=item2c7d22edd8

No, I am not the seller and don't know the seller.

But I know at least some people look for this drive.

It also mounts flush and the PCMCIA adapter does not stick out the front of the unit on this one past the insertion button.

Works very nice in a keyboard especially.

This is the best single-drive SCSI solution I know of...

Regards,
Ted

Hello everyone,

in a nutshell, what are the pros and cons of using a drive like this versus using EMXP/ EMuSer?

Please advise an Emax newbie.

You still would use EMXP.

Just also able to use the HD images section of EMXP instead of just the banks section.

EmuSer is going to transfer 1 bank to your Emax at a time.

A drive allows you to boot from it instead of floppy, so faster load / boot time.
A drive allows you to have 35 banks per scsi ID.

Fast bank switching.

In the case of this drive, there are two usable slots, so that gives you 70 banks.

You can copy between slot 1 and 2 also, allowing you to backup to a secondary flash.

That's just a couple of the benefits.

Plus, the flash drive has no spinning platters or heads to go bad.

There's also another PCD-25 on ebay. Query what the differing suffixes for the two models mean? And I wonder if this model has been tested in an Emax I....?

It is also called the MicroTech DPAI-SCSI.

I have one in my Emax1.

There's a pic on my site:

The HSF designation indicates a Smart Media can be directly put into slot 2, per the PDF.
