Not sure if it's possible to replace SCSI CD-ROM drive with SCSI SDCard adapter (like this one here http://imall.itead.cc/scsi2sd.html )?

Yes. It works great. I have been using one for two months now.
CPS3with wich system you use it for replacement??Feeling curious
Kuze actually put us onto it at the Neo forums. It's very easy to use. You connect it to your computer with a usb cable and use the utility to change the options to CD-Rom and 700mb. Then you load an ISO onto a microSD card. You can use DD but I used the Clonedisk function in WinHex. Then plug the card into the unit and plug plug the unit into the SCSI cable. No need to connect the power cable with CPS3.

do you know any place to get a super short SCSI cable and power cable?
kinda pricey but this is what I use:

No need for a power cable with the scsi2sd on a cps3 system. It draws power over the SCSI cable.

Hi, my SCSI2SD board arrived today. I've changed the board to CD-ROM mode using scsi2sd-util and try to hook it up to CPS3 board but it still does not work
It still shows "CD-ROM not connected properly. Please turn off power correctly..."
This is my settings. Can you guys please let me know which options i need to enable in scsi2sd-util

well i've changed to 700mb but it's still not working. Do I need to have a SD card in SD slot to make it works?

Of course. You need to write an SD card using the ISO of the cd you are trying to mimic. I use the clonedisk option in Winhex and it works good for me.

I use the software HDD Raw Copy Tool to clone sector by sector from ISO CPS3 UniCD into the microSD card (Winhex was not free that's why I used HDD Raw Copy Tool). It's all working fine now
Awesome! Enjoy.

I will make video tutorial so that everyone who wants to replace SCSI cd-rom with SCSI2SD can do it easily.
That would be very cool!
it SHOULD work....
Still don't have a CPS3 or i'd try, but I've got one of the SCSI2SD adapters setup to emulate the drive in an Apple Pippin with great results.
Let me see if I can pull the settings I'm using this evening.

It definitely works. I've been using it for months.
