Formatting and installing Workbench 3.1 on a CF from WinUAE
« on: December 26, 2011, 07:57:39 PM »
I would like to prepare a 128MB compact flash (to use in the nearby future on a real Amiga with an IDE->CF adapter) using WinUAE.

I have selected (in WinUAE) "add Hard Drive" and then selected the Compact Flash, but nothing comes up win Winuae once Workbench loads from an HDF file with Workbench in it.

Am I missing something? Cheers!

"Also remember to set any partitions to a max transfer of 0x1fe00 and hit return."

Where do I do that please? Cheers!

Ok, this morning I would like to do something else. I want to create a 10GB .HDF file in SFS file system.

In WinUAE I have created Amiga.hdf file (10GB) as SFS and I can see the icon in Workbench (always in WinUAE of course). I have tried to format it using SFSFormat but I get this error:

Error whilte initializing the drive: packet request type unkown

Have I missed something, somewhere?

Thanks!
