Help with PCMCIA and Easy ADF Compact Flash

[cleland909]

Hey Everybody,

Just got the PCMCIA adapter and 512 Kingston Compact Flash card from amigakit.com.  Here's the problem I"m having.  I installed the ADAPCMCFL and Easy ADF applications to the Hard Drive.  Rebooted and the compact flash showed up on the desktop.  Then, I formatted it on the amiga and renamed it.
Next I popped out the Compact Flash and ineserted it into a card reader for my Mac.  Showed up fine on the desktop so I dragged a .adf file onto it, ejected it and re-inserted back into the Amiga 600.  When I double click the CF icon, there are no files listed.  Same thing when I launch Easy ADF, it does not list any files in the window.  Do I need to name them something special for the Amiga to see them or did I screw up by formatting the Compact Flash on the Amiga?
Any help would be great, I'm trying to put .adf files back to Amiga disks to play.
Thanks!

OK, I formated it as "Fat" on my PC (Which I only keep for things I can't do on my mac).  Then I inserted the Compact Flash on my mac, and dragged a couple of .adf files over.  Inserted it into the Amiga 600 and same thing, nothing is listed in the Easy Adf, whether or not I click "Show All Files" or anything else.

And, yes the Mac can see everything fine, just not the amiga.

I guess I could try to transfer my .adf files to the PC and copy them from that??

Thanks for all the help and fast responses though!

Well CountZero was right, If I select "Show All Files" from the view I can see the files on the CF, but Easy ADF still doesn't.  I'll check to Dos Drivers drawer when I get home.  But given it does show up on the desktop I would think it's there.
I'll tinker some more when I get home.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

Still no luck getting the compact flash to work with Easy ADF.  I notice that when I "view all files" they begin with the characters "_." then the file name.  I tried to rename the files but they won't do it.  Then I tried Easy ADF one more time and even though I can't see any files in the list, I tried to copy .adf to disk.  It listed a game (Maybe the first in the directory?).  I was not able to select anything so I just clicked to get to the next page and it comes up with "Software Error 0000"
or something like that.

Now I'm wondering if it might be the fact that I am using the Amiga 600 with the composite video out to a TV.  Do I need a monitor to view the text??  I have a 1080 I got off ebay on the way.
