Title: Vampire 500V2 sd-card question
Post by: Marcel21674 on September 01, 2018, 07:11:37 PM

I'm trying to get the sd-card slot working on my vampire 500V2, but i had no luck so far.
I followed the instructions from the apolo wiki website and when checking if the files are at the right places, everything seems to be ok.
When i type sddiag in shell it sees the 4GB sdcard and gives al the information as showed in the wiki example.
When i type scsiquery in shell it gives a message: scsiquery failed: required argument missing.
I can't acces or see the sdcard in Hdtools, but i can mount the sdcard in storage:dosdevices
after mounting i can acces the sdcard, but it acts very weird.

can someone help me to get this working properly.

It's formatted as fat95. when i mount the sd-kaart i can format it in os3.1. i can write to it. but it does not show up in hdtoolbox.
i also act's strange. When i try to copy a file from my pc to the amiga cf-card (by amiga explorer an null-modem) it looks like it's copied to both devices cf card and sd card, but when i look on the amiga itself it's only copied to the sd-card.
Funny thing is it shows all the extra info as well, like on a windows pc. like your looking to a windows drive in a amiga skin.

I use os3.1
i don't know if this is good or not, but my sd0 is listed in storage/dosdrivers, not in devs/dosdrivers.

Format your SD card on PC to FAT32 fileformat in normal way. Do not use any Amiga tools like HDToolBox, SDMount or Giggledisk.

Make sure you have:

  DEVS:sagasd.devive
  L:fat95
  DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0
  DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0.info

Make sure that your DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0 mountlist uses partition geometry autosense, its contents must be like this:

Code: [Select]

  FileSystem= l:fat95
  Unit  = 0
  Flags  = 0
  LowCyl= 0
  HighCyl= 0
  Surfaces  = 1
  BlocksPerTrack = 1
  BlockSize  = 512
  Buffers= 300
  BufMemType= 1
  BootPri= 0
  Stacksize  = 4096
  Priority  = 5
  GlobVec= -1
  DosType= 0x46415401
  Device= sagasd.device

'...but i can mount the sdcard in storage:dosdevices

Have you tried it in DEVS, rather than Storage?
