Those pesky PCMCIA settings... CF card issues... =)
« on: May 02, 2008, 06:36:10 AM »
Hey Guys,
thanks for the support, sympathy and useful advice on my last thread... what a drama! Finally got the a600 alive and kicking, running from CF card...

Only now it's not recognising the PCMCIA device. Hardware is fine- I checked the old ide drive and, and the PCMCIA slot/cf card works ok.

Have tried copying all the devs/ folder and l/ folder from the old drive to the new CF one... thought there may have been some handlers missing or something... no luck.

When I run the CFD (automount program thing) from Workbench, I get a software error... (Suspend/Reboot) something to do with the Mount command not working.

I ran the debug tool with cfd, and it doesn't even make a logfile, as it says: CompactFlash.device not active.

How do I make it active?

With the old ide drive, I just ran Fat95 and then opened the CFD thing, and it worked...

Am I forgetting a step?

Thanks heaps =)

Just an update to this comedy of errors... about to get the final thing working... and since I've been opening this poor a600 so many times, guess what's  happened now?!

A wire for the keyboard connection has broken off at the solder, and I'm really crap at soldering... so you might be hearing more cries of pain soon...
