SD to IDE, How Do I Use This?

[jajan547]

Hello everyone I purchased this on Amazon for my Prototype 6360 (image also below) and I was wondering how to use it. Can I do a similar operation where I copy the .HDA onto a SD card, pop it in, and boot such as in the BlueSCSi? Or am I stuck using floppies or CD's to put programs and operating systems on this. If anyone has a premade Macintosh System 7.5-Mac OS 8.1 image remade or any information on how to configure one of these I'd greatly appreciate it.

It probably isn't that smart. I'd bet it's just presenting the whole SD card as a disk with a simple 1-to-1 sector mapping. You can probably use Balena Etcher or something similar to write a pre-made image to the drive. A modern Mac would probably be able to mount the SD card and add files once you have it formatted in a way the vintage machine likes.

Oh ok I'll see if that works when it arrives Monday
