Compact Flash IDE
« on: June 24, 2005, 03:33:59 PM »
So I bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6776441914&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 and put it in an 1200 with 256MB SanDisk CF.
I used HDToolbox and changed the Drive Type. I get status Unknown. After reading the configuration I get error "Unit is not a disk (type 7)!"
It reads fine 244 Meg, but after saving to disk the drive does  not show up on the workbench. Low-level formatting has no effect.
What's wrong?
Leo

I pulled the jumper off (probably master/slave jumper. No description). The HD-light stayed on and HDToolbox did not recognize the drive.
Then I replaced the jumper and voilĂ : it worked! I installed standard Workbench. Boottime: 6 seconds.

SanDisk seems to be one of the slowest flashcards. I cannot imagine that the capacity of the card has anything to do with that.
