[time-nuts] Re: Query about TSC5120A usage protocols

[Tom Knox]

Hi Jorge;
I did not have any problems - The U-Reach does a bit for bit copy. There are a number of settings, I wiped and formatted the new CF first, then used the copy and compare. I would go with a SLIGHTLY larger CF for the copy, I used Transcend CF300, I think the size was 4GB.
Hope something here helps.
Cheers;

Thanks Tom,
That's exactly what I thought. And I bought one CF-121 duplicator as well.
I tried yesterday but It does not seem to be able to read and copy the CF
from the 5120.
Any special settings you remember?
I already set it up to copy the whole media (bit to bit regardless the
format).
Thanks Again,
Jorge.
