Getting Amiga PCMCIA CF card readers quickly

I would stick to FAT32 as FAT95 will work with that. But your choice.

Better to quick format it on Amiga. It will format it correctly.

This CF card is for transferring files downloaded from the Internet on a MacBook over to my Amiga. AFAIK this requires a FAT format, because it's supported by both macOS and Amiga Workbench. I don't know how I can format the CF card as FAT32 or FAT16 under Workbench 3.0. Can you tell me, or did you think I was going to use this card in the format FFS, SFS, or PFS to install Workbench onto?

You just put card in, go to format, then select CF0:, then quick format. It will format it as FAT.

I wish I could also detect the FAT32 card when booting up from mx SFS CF card, but I think that's a subject for a new thread.

Did you try going to format, as sometimes it does not show, so you have to go to format and format it there.
Also, did you check if the SFS CF has card patches in startup sequence. Some cofigs need them, other wont see pcmcia if they are there.

I have also found on 3.2, if I insert card, it doesnt show. I have to remove adapter, remove card from adapter. Plug just adapter in, wait a few seconds then insert CF card. It then shows up.
