I've seen PCMCIA to Compact Flash adapters. Could those work with A1200s? How about A600s? For booting off of??


Yeah. They work. I tried it out yesterday  :-)  You need a soft driver for them though (cfd.lha from Aminet), so they're not bootable. Commodore's device can recognize the cards, but it thinks they're write-protected and can't do anything with them.

What I'm planning to do is create a Kick floppy to load the driver, and then reassign and boot the system from PCMCIA.


Uhm, I can see the cfd.lha in the back2roots aminet interface, but the link is invalid. I can't find it on the regular aminet interface...

What gives? File deleted?

Edit: found it on another mirror. So much for the "full mirror" theory ;-)
