 Beware of **I-O Data R-IDSC-E/R** because it is not compatible with X68000. This is the easiest one to find on eBay so be very cautious when ordering your adapter. Luckily the I-O Data adapters can be very easily distinguished from one another. The R-IDSC-E/R has one main logic chip and the IDSC21-E has two. Please see pictures for reference. Beware of **I-O Data R-IDSC-E/R** because it is not compatible with X68000. This is the easiest one to find on eBay so be very cautious when ordering your adapter.

-If someone has tested an adapter which is not listed in this wiki, please report your finding in our forum and help spread the word.+**STRATOS CF AztecMonster** is one of the newest products of them all and by far the best. It has the same mounting positions as hard drive, a built-in CF adapter, is made in Japan, usually costs less than any of the previous four adapters, can be easily bought through eBay from a seller called [[http://myworld.ebay.com/artmix/|Artmix]] and is compatible with X68000. 
 + 
 +{{:x68000:cf_aztecmonster.jpg}} 
 + 
 +**SCSI2SD** is an open hardware and open source project by [[http://shop.codesrc.com/|codesrc designs]]. It features a Micro-SD card slot, is firmware updatable and configurable over USB, costs considerably less than STRATOS CF AztecMonster and is compatible with X68000. Make sure to update it to the latest firmware if you want to use it with SASI bus. 
 + 
 +For **SCSI2SD** the following settings were used:  
 +    * SCSI ID3 
 +    * Termination On 
 +    * Parity Off 
 +

 + 
 +**CLPC-CFSxSI101** is special because it is the only one which can be used in native SASI or SCSI mode. All previous adapters only work in SCSI mode. It is made in Japan, works with CF cards and can be purchased from [[http://classicpc.org/cpc_cf-sxsi.html|Classic PC Rescue Committee]]'s home page.
