an good alternative. Seeing already a number of good solutions I tried one of my own.
And I didn't find an article about this solution so I made a new topic

Compact Flash (I/II) are rather common here I already saw, but here in the Netherlands CF cards aren't that
cheap (yes I'm dutch so money is always an issue

would be handy to use them. But is seems that those cardreaders are a little bit harder to get by.
Lucky me I found a shop in nearby that could help me. So here is the result:
2Gb Secure Digital (SD) card working in an Atari Falcon on the IDE channel



And thanks to HHDriver 8.23 this is what I could see. Formating, chop it
up in bite size pieces and....

Works very good, I first tried it with an old 64Mb card and when that was
working I used a bigger card. Formating took a whole lot longer but
hey, I now got 2Gb working (5 partitions).
Is it faster than the CF I/II, I don;t know. So if anybody has an benchmark
proggie I would test it.
SD card vs CF I/II card
+ Sofar for me the price

- Removing the card in my adaptor is a bit difficult, because it is so small.
It's quite stuck in the holder, but them again how often do you have to
remove a 2 GB card on a Falcon

Costs: I bought the adaptor for 15 euro, the card costs me 5 euro. That's not much for
a SSD harddrive I could say.
I'm thinking about doing a test with the old 64 mb card, trying to write to one spot a file
over and over again to see when it fails. Just to see if the SD card is reliable to serve as an HD.
I already heard of CF card that they suffer from data lose but only aftyer a big number of writes.
