That looks like a stock startup-sequence - nothing special there, nor should there be. You've got CF0 in Devs:DOSDrivers, and the line after BindDrivers is what mounts it from there. But there must be something else missing that's preventing it from working, even if the device is technically mounted. You've got compactflash.device in Devs:? You also need fat95 in L:.

You may also want to put CardPatch and CardReset (see Aminet) right before SetPatch.

Hope you get your file transfer challenges solved soon!

In the meantime, did you see the Problems section of the readme file? There are some flags you can throw in the mountlist, maybe they can help?

Please, understandable English.

Readme files with flags to be thrown in a mountlist. :angry::angry::angry:

This is what I was referring to (from the readme file here):

Problems
========

If some trouble occurs, like cards not recognized by cfd, please:

* report exact hardware type.
* mount CF0: if not already done.
* insert that very card.
* wait at least 1 second (yes, honestly).
* take cfd/c/cfddebug and type into a shell

    cfddebug ram:cfdlog

* send me the binary file just created (about 4 kbytes).
  I promise there are no passwords and such in it.

In case there is another PCMCIA driver (eg. a network card driver)
blocking the card socket, try setting the CF0 mountlist entry "Flags" to

    Flags = 1    /* enable "cfd first" hack */

Damaged or simply not quite officially standardized cards may sometimes
cooperate using

    Flags = 2    /* skip invalid PCMCIA signature */
