PCMCIA Card Reader Problems.
« on: May 24, 2008, 08:04:28 PM »
I have a sandisk 6-in-1 card adapter (SDAD-67) which I am attempting to use with the compactflash.device. When I try to mount cf0: it gives me the message "already mounted." When I try to read from it with a "dir cf0:" it responds "bad number." This is on an old A1200 with 8 megs additonal memory and few other enhancements. I have no idea if this card is compatible or not.

My floppy is dead, so I'm looking for ways to load files onto it. In addition to help with the above, I'm looking for any suggestions how to do that.

Also, I'm looking any instructions on how to set up networking, wireless or wired. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it too would be appreciated.

@ Oli_hd

Good tip, Oli. That helped but still no joy. Now it reports "no disk in drive."

That's progress for ya... or is it "regress?" :)

I do have a parallel zip drive. I don't have the patients to hack a new cable for it.

I do have a Linksys wireless, as well as an old PC Card either  net, but I'm not sure how to go about testing them to ensure that they work.
