Title: CF card in an A1200
Post by: gdanko on August 24, 2007, 07:22:35 AM

Thanks to my pal Ling I now have a 4 GB CF card in my A1200. I also have 64 MB fast RAM with an 030/40 accelerator. I'd like to use this as my WHDLoad machine. However, when I open HDToolbox my poor OS 3.1 doesn't know what to do with such a large disk. Any advice on how to get 3.1 to be happy with a large CD card? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried this (http://aminet.net/search?query=hdtoolbox) patch from Aminet?

I was able to format a 500mb partition on there. I am sure I could get sfs installed and go in that direction. But I'd like to make sure I am doing things correctly. :) If I can make this work I will put a 32G card in there!
