| Congrats, AmigaKit, for coming out with yet another hardware project for the A1200! I'm sure many Classic users (like me) are happy to see new hardware come out for their systems.
Are there any reviews of this new product? What are the typical Read/Write access speeds for IDE hdd or, CF, SD cards, if an IDE to CF/SD card adapter is used? Is the Read/Write access speed faster or slower than what is typical for the SCSI-2 controller on say, my Phase5 1260 w/SCSI add-on board attached?

| The Blizzard SCSI is easily at least twice as fast. It benefits from proper controller, fast bus and short distance to CPU and RAM, and also does DMA, so no stressing of CPU. Last edited by kolla on 10-May-2020 at 04:21 PM.
