Well, not the Amiga.
The interface is the bottleneck not the card.
I have no idea which of the two is faster.
Exactly. It doesn't really matter much because you will never realize HD speeds above what the Amiga can handle regardless of what the card is rated. I use a 2GB CF card plugged into an adapter and into the IDE port and it is a noticeable improvement over the old spinning platters of rust that use to come with the A1200. I still have my original 85MB hard drive that came with it in case I ever want to sell it with the Amiga as a stock system. It even works.
I totally do this. Sure, I've got friends who max their machines out "because they can" but I don't go down that road. I put all the software and games I actually want to play (not every game known to mankind via WHDLoad) and I still have gobs of space left over. My current sweet spot for a HDD size is 512MB.The newer updates have removed most of the limits but I still prefer to use the old ones.
I did. I have a good friend here locally named Christian (also a member of A1K, originally from Germany) who did the fix for me. It was verified, too. Horrible such a primo $$$ card shipped with that fatal flaw, but glad I've got it covered.McTrinsic: Off topic, make sure to have the voltage fix applied to the ZZ9000.
For transferring files from PC to Amiga heck even a 512MB CF card will do but for sure keep the larger CF card as your HD
