Re: CF Card - Which one to buy?
« on: June 22, 2009, 07:48:35 AM »
on this same thread, I have just received my PCMCIA2CF adapter.
obviously it warks flawlessly with any CF I have on a notebook, but on my OS4.0 A1200 I have problems.
I have various CF
1 128MB
4 4GB
1 8GB
2 16GB
I have tried them as master with a CF2IDE, only one 4GB let me install OS4, but could not boot.
the others were not even seen or hid the cdrom (slave); the 128MB one worked OK with prezious tests with 3.1, but it's to small for OS4.
now I tried the PCMCIA2CF adapter, same story, none worked.
using cardprep, it says all the CF are SMI brand, only the 128MB is a Toshiba.
on all, exept the 128MB, it says there is an error, for the 128MB it says it is protected.
any advice?
thanx
S.
