FFS mountlist for compactflash.device?

[A4000_Mad]

Hmmm...This is of great interest to me too, as I've used the Compact Flash card in the PCMCIA slot of my 5 year old daughters A1200 Desktop to get games into it for many months. But I have always left it PC formatted and used 'fat95' in the Amiga.


For a moment I thought I could simply click icon for the CF and select format from the menu at the top of the screen. But I thought wrong of course as FFS is hatched out and it can only be formatted back to FAT. Doh!

Looks like we need to get a dos driver with L:FastFileSystem and to get all the other numbers right. We may need a new dos driver for CF cards of each capacity as well.

 
Will continue to investigate.......

Here is the mountlist for the Amiga formatted 100MB Zip disk with my Zip drive being an internal IDE one. Prehaps we can fiddle with the numbers and get this to work the CF card  :-)



FileSystem    = L:FastFileSystem
Flags        = 0
Surfaces    = 1
SectorsPerTrack    = 68
SectorSize      = 512
Reserved    = 2
Interleave    = 0
Buffers        = 136
BufMemType    = 1
MaxTransfer    = 0x001FE000
Mask        = 0xFFFFFFFE
BootPri        = -127
StackSize    = 1024
Priority    = 10
DosType        = 0x444F5303
LowCyl        = 2
HighCyl         = 2890
Mount        = 1
Activate    = 1
GlobVec        = -1




Oh the 'Zip.info' file has:-

Default tool.... C:Mount

Tool types.... ACTIVATE=1, STARTUP=1, DEVICE=scsi.device and UNIT=3

Is there absolutely no-one that is using an Amiga formatted Compact Flash card or that can be any of help? :boohoo:

@ LoadWB

Well I've given up on trying to solve this for you using a Compact Flash card in the PCMCIA slot of an A1200 Desktop
 :boohoo:

Many thanks for starting the thread though as I couldn't think of what to have as a 4th IDE device in my A4000.

But now I know exactly where one of these will be going  :-D  :-D  :-D

(Erm..... No it isn't a pointing mouse :lol: )
