Transport Data from PC/Mac to A1200

[Roman78]

I own an A1200 now. And i want to build a CD-Rom in it to easy transport data and store data/Games on CD. To let the CD-rom work i need IDEfix. But how do i transport that one from a PC or Mac to the A1200.

Someone said us a CF card. So buyed me an cardreader from sweex and a CF card from 256 (smallest they had). So at the PrepCar program i see the Card (SanDisk SDP Version 4.1 5/3 0.6). But i can't run "Prepare as DISK". That it sais: "Unable to prepair card: Error while writing changes". On my Mac the card runs fine. Is the card to big? Or did i do something wrong?

Oh i'm useing 3.0

Gr Roman.

@Ohforf: Where do i can find those?

@motorollin: The problem is how i transfer the data (also CFD and Fat95 or IDEfix) to the A1200 for the first time.

Okee. That works. But when i insert the disk in the A1200 and open the MSDOS5.0 disk that i see that it used 215K but i don't see any files... Whats that?

Works. First extract G'uh

But what do i have to do whit those files? Where to put them?
