Introduction
Description
Suska GigaFile is a solid state disk, intended to work on Atari ACSI- or SCSI interfaces. The
physical memory SD cards are foreseen. In this way, the GigaFile is widely configurable using
SDSC (cards with small capacity up to 2GiB), SDHC (cards with high capacity from 2GiB to 32
GiB) or SDXC (cards with capacities greater than or equal 32GiB). So this product should meet any
individual requirements.
The focus of development of the GigaFile was the compatibility to both bus protocols, the Atari
Computer System Interface ACSI and the Small Computer System Interface SCSI. The
Configuration of the desired bus protocol is done via the connecting cable or adapter. The electronic
circuitry is placed on a double sided mounted printed circuit board which has an area of 50x40mm².
The boxed GigaFile measures 60x55x30mm³. Therefore it has a volume which is a factor of 80
times smaller in comparison to Atari's 20MiB hard disk drive SH205! Beside the 26 position HD-
D-SUB connector and the connector for the SD card, the GigaFile is equipped with two LEDs
indicating the operation status.
The development of the GigaFile went hand in
hand using the current version of the HDDRIVER
hard disk driver from Uwe Seimet. Optimizations
for this driver are implemented in the digital logic,
so it is recommended to use a recent version of
HDDRIVER (8.45+) with the GigaFile.
The functionality and the technical data described
in this manual refer to the GigaFile Slim R02.
This version number is indicated while booting
with HDDRIVER.
