I've found that Individual Computers has a habit of advertising
features that don't quite live up to my expectations. I also own a
Catweasel card for my Amiga, and even though I bought it nearly 10
years ago, I'm still a bit ticked over it. If something doesn't
include device drivers, you shouldn't advertise it as supporting
various formats. It basically could read 2 of the floppy types it
claimed to support.
Yours is not the first time I've heard this concern. My
hope is simply
that I don't fall into the same trap.
If you support Mac & Linux this might be of interest to me. My major
problem with just things has been the fact that it only ever seems to
support Windows, and I don't typically have a Windows machine running.
non-Windows support is mandatory, for the same reason I designed an
IEC-based unit instead of something that would only work on the C64.
One question, what size SD cards does the uIEC support, and does it
support HDSD cards? Right now I'm using the 2GB card from my
MMC-Replay and it wants its card back. :-)
Any size you can get... I got an 8GB
card here a few weeks ago, which
works fine. It does support SDHC. However, due to how CBM implemented
the directory listing function, it can only report 65535 blocks free in
a dir listing, even if there are more blocks free.
