PCMCIA SD Card - Compact flash
Posted by: KnobsNSwitches on 2019-09-23 08:07:02
I have an external SCSI2SD that I'd love to use like a 'floppy' to move files between my various Macs. 

Has anyone had any luck with the adapter chain of microSD card-> SD card adapter -> CF adapter -> PCMCIA reader?

My microSD card works fine in the SCSI2SD, and it works fine in the fullsize SD adapter on a MacBook, but it does not mount on any of my vintage powerbooks with the above (admittedly silly) chain of adapters.

(And yes, I could disconnect the SCSI2SD and just plug it into the powerbooks, but that involves cable changes ;-)

Not tried that, but I have a very generic-looking PCMCIA SD card reader that works fine with my Lombard.
