[Techtoolslist] FLUKE 9100A SCSI to CF Adapter - Success with Stratos CF AZTECMONSTER

[techtools-steve]

Yea, the one you used is difficult to find (discontinued) and expensive 
as heck these days.  The AZTECMONSTER has been rock solid and tested 
with both a 64mb and 128mb card so far.  I don't have any larger CF 
devices of I would have tired to push the envelope a bit further.  I 
believe I paid $115 USD shipped (9900 yen was about $99 not that long 
ago) when I ordered mine but the dollar has since continued it's slide 
into obscurity.  :-(

One cautionary warning for anyone looking to install a CF in the fluke, 
avoid the mechware product at all costs.  It will not work with or 
without the PCMCIA bridge.  I contacted the distributor, attempted 
multiple variations on the configuration and never got it working.  The 
AZTECMONSTER was basically plug and play and well worth the higher price.
