When I plug my CF Card into my SCSI port on my A1200 it doesn't seem to load on my workbench screen.
I have to go into System > Devs > Dos Drivers then double click on CFO ( I think that's it) to load the CF card so it appears on my workbench screen.
Can someone please tell me how I can make it appear on the WB screen once it is plugged into the SCSI interface?
thanks

If a mountlist (CF0) is in the Devs/DOSDrivers drawer, it should be automounted on the boot. Are you sure it isn't in the Storage/DOSDrivers drawer?
What SCSI controller do you have? Maybe it needs a bus rescan to find the device?
Or are you mixing up SCSI and PCMCIA? If you're just using the CF card with a CF-PCMCIA adapter in the PCMCIA slot of Amiga (no SCSI involved then) it should just appear on the desktop when plugged in if CD0 mountlist is in the Devs/DOSDrivers drawer. If it doesn't work automatically, check if your S:startup-sequence still contains the line "C:Mount >NIL: DEVS:DOSDrivers/~(#?.info)" or has it been removed for some reason.

Do both your SCSI controller and card reader (whatever model you use) support hot swapping? Not all do.
Or are you mixing up SCSI and PCMCIA?
+1 for this being a possibility, as well. :lol:

I added the following line to the startup sequence as it wasnt in there and now it works. thanks for your help. :)
