CF Adapter Red Light stays on

[bigwall68]

Can some one verify that if the red light on the CF adapter stays on, then I have an issue?

CF is not displaying on boot screen either.  Cable is connected as it should be.  

This is my fourth amiga and has been a frustrating evening.  

Thank you for advice.

No its correct.  

How likely is it that an IDE controller goes bad?

Another question.

Is rev 2b motherboard compatible with an 8gb CF?  

CF is fully functional via winuae.  

Thank you again.

Pat you always chip in and help.  Thank you!

I do not have a floppy with HDTools.  Perhaps I should order a set.  

ROMs are from Amigastore as well 3.1 / 40.068

Boot partition is 500mb, then a 2gb and lastly a 5gb.  I configured to PFS3 successfully via winuae.  CF is 8gb (Amigastore purchased).

I have a 4gb coming Monday.

One thing that is causing question is that if I select IDE(Auto) on winuae, the CF is not recognized.  Same thing that happens on the 1200.

Thanks again.  This community is absolutely wonderful!

Should I expect the red light to be on when a CF is not in the adapter?
