SCSI2SD with Windows + basiliskII

Did you know ..

BasiliskII will recognize an HFS partition on an SD card as a floppy drive? It mounts properly and I can copy data from the BasiliskII emulated Mac to/from it.

When you press CTRL-SHIFT-F11, Basilisk will mount the HFS volume on the SD card.

(my approach is -- I will startup BasiliskII first, then insert the SD card into PC (K🙂, then press CTRL-SHIFT-F11. If I put the SD card in first, then launch Basilisk, I had a situation where the emulated Mac OS said something like 'this volume cannot be used as a startup disk' or something, I cannot recall. When I put the SD card back in the Macintosh II (SCSI2SD) it would not boot (Question mark icon). I had to boot from floppy 7.5.3 then run SystemSwitcher 1.1 to tell the Mac to allow boot from the SD card again ...)

I just wanted to point this out if anyone didn't know this. Any other easier way I am missing, please let me know =) thank you.
