Title: trouble between CF IDE and CF PCMCIA.
Post by: TheGoose on May 27, 2008, 07:02:02 PM

I was try to swap CF cards from my IDE CF Amiga with my A1200. I had all the compactflash.device installed for the 1200, but when I gave it my CF card from the A1000 (formatted through IDE) It did not like it.

It would not read the native amiga partition - wow.

Any other things I could do to get these to work together. Could compactflash.device be made to support an IDE created CF card?

The IDE driver (scsi.device) automatically mounts partitions if it finds some. The compactflash.device does not do this. You have to mount the partition manually, either by creating a mountlist (like the CF0 example from FAT95, but using FastFileSystem instead of FAT95) or by using a program which can mount partitions, for example the Mounter program which comes with OS 3.9.

Hmm ok, that makes sense. I'll try make a mountlist or a DOSdevice icon...

Thanks Thomas!
