As I mentioned erlier in this thread, I have this configuration on my a1200 (thru a 4way buffered device). Works very nice. In Os3.9 It pops up in hdtoolbox just like any other harddrive, I have used this on two systems, and no manual configuration has been required.

Have just bought one of those CF cards myself and was supposed to install it this night.

Well... It's no mumbo jumbo except that you need the 2,5" harddisk cradle and the 44/44 pin cable to do so.

Some expensive CF cards keep track of how many rewrite cycles each sector has had. If a sector exceeds this amount, the data is moved to a different sector, and the sector which exceeded the rewrite cycle limit is marked as bad.

They don't actually track write amounts per cell, they just spread the bytes around in a pattern to more or less use all the cells evenly. Its in the cheapo cards as well.

So you've now actually booted into a Compact Flash card on the IDE header of an A1200 Desktop? Prehaps you could give us a bit of a detailed tutorial as so far I've only booted into a 2.5" internal hard drive with an A1200 desktop, and then used a CF card as an Amiga formatted hot swappable disk on the PCMCIA slot.

One detailed tutorial, ready and waiting in the Tutorial secion  :-)
