CF ide for Amiga1200 problem, Please help

[bakoulis]

I have test the cf to ide adapter (both 2.5 & 3.5 versions)
to my a1200 with 3 differend cf cards (16mb hitachi, 256mb sandisk, 2gb ultra II sandisk!) but hdtoolbox didn't found drive for partitioning. I have try all possible combinations,
slave,master, os3.9, os3.1, with hd or without, with 2.5 and with 3.5 adaptor but nothing. Now I have my amiga opened on my desk and many parts on my bed, so please make something quick. :cry:

the 3.5 adapter  takes power from my external PC modified PSU that I use to power my a1200 040/40mhz. the 2.5 adapter powered from the ide port as a regullar 2.5 HD. none works. Have any of you a working cf ide system? any idea?

have you tried hdinsttools? sometimes it gives better results..

I have try both....nothing. And the better is the red led of cf to ide controller is blinking when I boot. And blinking again when the hdtoolbox scan for devices. It seem to be incompatible with cards, but with 3 cards??? (16mb hitachi, 256mb sandisk, 2.0gb ultra II sandisk)

I have 3.1 kick. My adaptor isn't defect because I tryed 2 adapters (2.5 & 3.5). The 3 cards works with pc via pcmcia adaptor and to my hp200lx palmtop. O.K. the lexar is the best, but nowhere read before to not use any other cards. Probably the firm isn't problem. :-(

That is my hardware plus 2 more older cf cards (16mb hitachi & 256mb sandisk).
The truth is I have the idefix adapter, but not only test it with idefix adapter. I have tried to connected the "2.5 ide to cf" on amiga original 2.5 ide port (without idefix board offcourse) not works again. The led of adapter blinking when amiga boots. Blinking again when hdtoolbox scaning for devices, but don't seen the cf cards as hd. :crazy:

I have put together and sold 11 of these CF to IDE, I had same problem here with some CF cards in the end i used a program called RDprep (http://it.aminet.net/disk/misc/rdp391.lha) for some cards and an older unknown HD setup program (will find name when have time),these cards would not be seen by HDTools but older software found them odd i know ,also the current setup needs no power it all comes from the 1200 built in IDE.

Also this program didn't seen my cf. And fail to seen correctly my IBM 4,0GB HD (without partitions and as 12,48MB IBM!!!) terrible. I give up. :boohoo:

In HD toolbox: hit the "change drive type" button, then "Define new..." and after that "Read Configuration".
Give the drive a name and hit the "ok" button (never mind the "unit is not a dos disk" error message).
Now you should be able to partition your cf-card in hd toolbox.

In hdtoolbox didn't present the cf card as unknown or whatever. The hd toolbox find only my IBM 4.0GB hd.
If I'll hit the "change drive type" button and "define new" this action will remove all data from my HD. Anyway... now I know this project isn't works for me but I don't know why.

Are you using your IDE-fix adapter..?

Try this:

1. You should have only your CF-IDE adapter (with CF card installed) connected to the IDE port.
2. Start with wb3.0 or 3.1 Install disk and start HD toolbox from the diskette.

Now HD toolbox should find your card.
Then follow the steps from my previous post.
It should work.

It isn't work with or without idefix, but even was worked without idefix I wasn't happy without cd-rom

When I used cf with idefix and hd, the hdtoolbox detect only my hd. When disconnected idefix board and hd and connected the cf to ide on motherboard, then booted from floppy and hdtoolbox wrote: "no hd devices connected" or something like that, I don't remember exactly. Probably my cards is not combatible.

Finally I have tested the hdtoolbox_cf with idefix and it didn't worked. I don't care to test it without idefix because I don't want cf without cd-rom.
I give up.  :pissed:
