FFS mountlist for compactflash.device?
« on: July 22, 2006, 03:36:14 AM »
Recently I bought a PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter from AmigaKit.  It comes with everything needed to read a FAT-formatted CF card -- fat95 filesystem (I believe that CrossDOSFileSystem works just as well, if not better) and compactflash.device.

While it works well for FAT-formatted CF, I need it to read an FFS-formatted CF card, but have been unable to devise a mountlist for this.  The CF card has been used in my Amiga 4000 using an IDE-to-CF adapter, and I would like to copy data from it to my 1200.  In the future, I was planning to use this setup to copy the 512MB CF in the 1200 to a replacement 4GB CF.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tried it while I was playing around, and it didn't work.  I have the mountlist still so I'll continue trying to tweak it.  I'm concerned that the compactflash.device may not like some of the parameters of the mountlist, like Surfaces.

Since the compactflash.device came with the AmigaKit kit, I'll head over to AmiNet tonight and try to find the original package and look into the docs.
