Wouldn't a Toshiba FlashAIR or a similar clone accomplish the same, but in a "normal" SD-Card size?

I believe that may be the case, although it seems like the adapter you mentioned is no longer available for purchase. The main difference is that the ones being sold on AliExpress are based on an open-source project described in detail here: https://3dtoday.ru/blogs/massaraksh7/sd-karta-s-wifi-na-esp8....

This device has been working for me for over a year with msx1fpga and more. Very comfortably.

For those who are interested in the details ESPWebDAV

There are many clones, but the original FlashAir has been around for a long time,
there are sites with utilities and also some doujinshi!

I bought one years ago for a project, but it's still boxed in my drawer...
I understand there are some cases when such a device is useful, but for me it was just a waste of money.
It would be a different matter if a PC wasn't needed :(

If I have the target device close to the PC, it's just faster to remove the SDCard and insert it into the PC, instead of firing the FTP tool and waiting for connection + transfer.
Conversely, If I have the target far from the PC, I'd have to walk to the PC, initiate the transfer and then walk back to the device... Bringing the SDCard to the PC and back would still be faster.

so does this work on any sd device? like megaflashrom scc+sd or carnivore2 with sd card adapter

also what is the difference between BTT TF Cloud V1.0 and SD Cloud V1.0 versions?

Last time I tried something like this (actually with a sd card that had wifi like the FlashAir above), the problem I had was that the msx cartridge (can't remember which sd or ide solution i was using) had to have the sd card removed and reinserted after adding a file over wifi because it didn't detect that the card content has changed, which made it not so useful.

This works wherever FAT16 is used. But there are technical nuances. I had to replace some parts. It is better that the developer himself confirms this possibility.

The only difference is the size of the SD card.

You probably just need to be sure of not using any cache for the file system on the MSX side ?

Actions with a disk on an SD card must be separated into MSX and PC. This is a simple rule. I don't know anything about caching on MSX.
Any actions with the disk on the SD card are performed immediately and completely.

The code running on the micro-controller only access the microSD card when the bus is not taken. The code monitors the chip select signal for the card and only performs operations when allowed.
