I have a CompactFlash card reader connected to my Deneb USB card. My problem is that FAT95 gives an error that it could not write to the CF when I drag and drop a file. Reading a file this way is no problem. Copying a file to the CF using Shell is also fine. File size doesn't matter. I have tried a 512MB and a 2GB CF formated in FAT16.
Is it a known issue with FAT95 that I cant drag and drop copy files to my CF?

What does the message say ?
-
I'm not sure if this helps. I use a CompactFlash on my A1200, using fat95, but have them formatted in fat32 and I'm able to drag and drop with no problems at all.
Is there a reason why they are formatted in fat16?

@ Thomas
I will need to get back to you tomorrow to read the exact error (the Amiga is at work).
@ ThePieman
I have not tested it FAT32 formated. Reason I use FAT16 is that my camera that uses it want FAT16.

ive observed problems related to use of fat formatted media on my system when deneb is set to dma mode. but do not know if that has something to do with what you experience. in my case it is timeouts when reading bigger files.

@ wawrzon
My Deneb is set in PIO mod. Reading files by drag and drop is no problem.

@ Thomas
This is what it says when I try drag and drop copy:
"UMSD:
Schreibfehler 42 bei Block 69097.
Wiederholen Abbrechen"
If I try to continue I get the same error. If I cancel you get the same error at a different block. Then I get, if I keep on doing it for a long enough time,
"Error while copying 'file name' not a valid DOS disk
Remove incomplete object?
Remove Cancel"
If I hit remove then it either does nothing or continue with same kind of errors.

Does it really say this in German ?
Error 42 means "illegal or unexpected SCSI phase". With a real SCSI device I'd say that termination is not correct. But on USB I have no idea. Perhaps ask Chris Hodges about it.
Maybe MaxTransfer issue.
Do you use OS 3.9 ? Perhaps try without AsyncWB.
Bye,

Yes. The fat95 from aminet is in german, for the english version you need to patch the binary (instructions are included but who really bothers?).
It's a bit shame really, 99.999% users have german fat95 installed. When they get some errors they get a surprise... :-)
-
since i get my errors on deneb only in connection with fat formatted media i suppose maybe fat95 has still some bugs. nevertheless it is working suprisingly well regarding its age and lack of maintenance

@ Thomas
The german text doesn't bother me. I use a OS 3.1 installation. AsynchWB came with Boing Bag 1 for OS 3.9 did it?
