+**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.

-Things you will need:
+First of all download the disk image which contains Human 68k v3.02 and SCSI compatible IOCS driver with DMA patch for X68000 machines with SASI port. The DMA patch was discovered by our forum member Neko68k and is reproduced with his kind permission.
