PCMCIA CF reader from Amiga kit not working?
« on: June 19, 2016, 06:49:11 AM »
I just received a PCMCIA CF reader for my A1200.

I booted into workbench from the internal CF hard drive.

I then installed the supplied software, which was supplied on floppy. I then rebooted.

I slid in the device into the PCMCIA slot and put a 4 gig compact flash card which is formatted to Fat95.

The Amiga doesn't do a thing.

The only expansion the Amiga has is a 4 meg memory expansion in the trapdoor, but I've tried the Cf reader with and without this installed.

Should the Amiga recognize the CF if it's not formatted to the right format? Should I be able to see it in hdtoolbox? Will it work with fat95?

I have workbench 3.1 stock install with nothing else
Installed other than the drivers that came with the CF device.

Hi

In /dev/dosdrivers I have CF0

If I type cd cd0:  I get asked to insert volume cd0 in any drive.

Ok I tried again today. I got nowhere.

Should I be able to detect the pcmcia adaptor in the workbench app that shows hardware config (can't remember the name).

It detects my ram board, but nothing about the pcmcia adapter.

I've tried the card being formatted as fat and fat32.
