Hi,

See http://aminet.net/driver/media/cfd.readme

"A word on hardware:

you will need a special adapter card labelled "CompactFlash to PCMCIA", to "PC Card" or to "ATA". It looks like a normal 5mm PCMCIA card with a smaller slot for CF cards at the front side.

There are two types of such adapters sold in good computer stores, for "CF Type 1" and "CF type 2" cards. The only two differences: "CF Type 2" adapters can also cope with thicker CF cards, like those expensive "MicroDrive" harddisks; and b) they cost more."


Also, if you download the software there is a JPG pic of an adapter the author uses.

I use cheap PCMCIA CF Card adapters ( I bought in Jessops photo shop in the UK) in my A1200's and they work fine with 4 Gig CF Cards.
