Your reply resulted in me checking out a few more details and I think my problem is that I don't have a device exec. file called "SoftSCSI_ATE9.device" in my SYS:DEVS drawer, or for that matter anywhere on my machine, although IDEFIX97 identified that file using "Find device" when scanning for the CF card. So how does IDEFIX97 "know" about this file and that it associated with the CF card?

It's either in the ROM of the controller, or the file in Expansion loads it directly in to RAM. In any case, it doesn't matter - if FindDevice can see it, then the device is working.


You mentioned "cfd" files. Is this compactflash.device? If so, this is not correct. Compactflash.device is for Compact Flash cards in card readers in the PCMCIA port.

You might want to check out GiggleDisk. It will create a mountlist for your device.

Copy GiggleDisk_AOS68K to the C: directory. Might be easier to rename it to "giggledisk" too. Then use it as follows:

c:giggledisk SoftSCSI_ATE9.device 0 TO ram:

This should create a mountlist for the device in RAM:. Mount it to check it works, and if it does move it to devs:dosdrivers or sys:storage/dosdrivers.
