If you see an error message saying bad number when trying to mount SD0 it may be an indication that your particular sd-card simply doesn't work with the sdbox for some reason.Įverything done here is provide as is, don't blame us if your Amiga CIAs dies or your files get corrupted using the sdbox.

Another caveat is that not all sd-cards might work with the sdbox so aim for a cheap 4/8 GB card and format it with a smaller partition below 4GB with FAT is a good starting point. One little caveat to keep in mind is that we do no CRC-verification of data being copied so please verify your files afterwards manually if you are going to copy important files over this way like taking a backup or something.

PCBs can be order directly via link below or you can send the gerbers zip (or generate gerbers yourself) and send them to your favorite boardhouse.Ĭopying from sd-card to the Amiga (cpu fastrom activated, KS ROM loaded into Fast RAM)Ĭopying from sd-card to the Amiga (without fastrom activated) The schematics, BOM, kicad drawings and the 3d-printable case source and stl files can all be found in the hardware folder. It should work from 1.3 and upwards, verified working on 1.3, 3.1 and 3.1.4 so far.
PSC 500 USB PARALLEL ADAPTER DRIVER
The driver should be AmigaOS system friendly but takes exclusive access over the parallel port so don't expect to run other things on this port together with the sdbox with some kind of breakout cable. 5V via USB or 7-12V via the barrel jack power connector that goes to the VIN of the Nano V3. A power supply with 1A DC capacity should suffice. The device must be powered externally either through the usb-connector on the Nano or via the separate barrel jack connector on the main PCB. These small devices are soldered onto a small PCB together with a male d-sub db25 connector that fits into the Amiga parallel port (The A1000 needs a proper gender changer, be aware). It uses an Arduino Nano V3 and a common cheap MicroSD Card Adapter that has a voltage level shifter on board. It is a small device that you can plug into your Amiga's parallel port and get access to a sd-card formatted with e.g. It is a collaborative work done by us three, Enjoy!

Design of the 3d-printable sdbox case is made by me and Tobias Niva (niva3d, ). KiCad design, Schematics and files for DesignSpark Mechanical v4 is made by me. This code uses the code from the amiga-par-to-spi-adapter written by Niklas Ekström.
