Help needed with PCMCIA cf adapter
« on: July 11, 2006, 11:01:45 PM »
I just got my brand new Kingston Pcmcia adapter from Amigakit.

Im using a lexar 64meg cf card, i never used it so its technically new

On the PC i formatted it FAT like some people said to.

I try to boot my amiga 600 with the pcmcia adapter in and it does not boot.
I remove it and then boot which it comes up fine. They I insert the adapter it locks the amiga up.

I used Amigakits install disk which installed to HD

Please help , this setup cost me a few dollars and looks to be worthless since it locks my amiga up.

The problems you have relates to the CF card.
Lexar is a great card to use as a harddrive together with a CF-Ide adapter, but it doesnt work together with a PCMCIA adapter...
I recommend Kingston card for your setup, try to find for example a used 128Mb on ebay, they are relatively cheap.

In my format command I see CF0: showing the 4meg available.

How do I mount it so it shows on my desktop?
