Amiga does not see PAR hard drive
« on: May 30, 2014, 08:05:49 AM »
I have a Connor CFA1275 hooked up to my PAR card, the PAR software sees the drive fine (DDR:) but it will not show up in Workbench, Directory Opus or any other programs.
Any idea what needs to be done to get it to show up in Workbench?

Dave

I did a search before I posted this, and read in another post that it would show up as an Amiga drive in Workbench, but if it will not show as an Amiga drive, how do you do a backup?

Thanks, that works.
With PAR open, and the window moved to the back, an icon for DDR: does come up on the Workbench screen, nothing comes up in AmiBack or Directory Opus, but if I type DDR: in the drive path, they both find the drive, so now I can use Amiback to backup the drive to tape.

Thanks again.

I tried some CF drives on mine, and none of them worked, I also tried a 40 gig drive, it worked fine but only formatted to 8 gigs.
