A3000D and CF solution

You need to change your sandisk card from removeable to fixed. The Dos Tool to do this is named ATCFWCHG.COM.
 
Note that the tool does not work with an usb cardreader. It only works with CF-IDE adapters.
Edit: Also it only works with sandisk cards.
 
BTW I've read somewhere (I think it was a1k.org) that Transcend sells some Industrial CF cards which are set to fixed instead of removeable.

Do I also need to change my CF cards even when they are Amiga formatted + O.S. 3.1
installed on them?

Unfortunately, yes.  The buddha can't cope with CF cards that are set as a removeable disk. You have to change it to fixed.
That's what the DOS tool I mentioned does.
Unfortunately you need a PC to do this.

Just read this at a1k.org. It was written by Jens Schoenfeld:
 
Quote:
Die Produktion des "TrueIDE" Adapters ist bereits angelaufen. Dieser neue *aktive* CF-Kartenadapter löscht das removable-Bit von allen CF-Karten ganz ohne dass man ein Hacker-Tool und eine DOS-Maschine braucht.
 
In Kürze gibts also bei Vesalia (oder einem anderen Händler Eures Vertrauens) eine ganz einfache Lösung für das Problem: Den richtigen CF-Kartenadapter.

It basically says that a new CF adapter went into production, that clears the removeable-bit of all CF-cards, without the need of a software tool or PC.
Could be interesting for Buddha and IDEfix users who want use CF cards.
