Amiga 4GB CF A600 Help
« on: April 01, 2011, 01:22:03 PM »
Hi All,

This is my fist post - hello everyone!!

I need a little help before I throw my amiga in front of a bus.

I bought a basic amiga A600 off ebay & I wanna install a Compact Flash Drive.

I have opened the machine and installed the CF & set it as Master. I have booted into Workbench 2.05 and I cant the CF Drive. Its currently formatted to Fat32 & I cant find HDInstall to format/partition the the drive.

My questions are...

Do I need a different version of Workbench.
Do I need 4MB of Ram etc

Any ideas?

Hi,

No sorry I have somthing similar to this installed in the HDD slot

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-600-4gb-Transcend-CF-Hard-Drive-/160564573804?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item256264f66c

I have tried connecting the CF to WinUAE with no joy, I thought it would be easier to do this in the machine.

Classicwb seems difficult to use, why am I getting 'Volume Install3,1 is Full'

I started WinUAE from a command prompt using

WinUAE.exe -disableharddrivesafetycheck

The CF is SanDisk Ultra II 4GB 15 MB/s
