A3000D and CF solution

[tonyyeb]

Have a quick look at my CF solution in an A3000D with a Buddha.

It was being used to boot workbench. I got a CF-IDE from ebay for a couple of quid, and similar a 2GB CF drive. Needed a little jiggery pokery but then it worked a treat!

Indeed, it was a bit tricky to get the CF card to act like a hard drive but thanks to AlexH I got it sorted. I expect AmigaKit will already have done this if you are getting a CF solution from them.

I used a Sandisk Ultra II 2gb. Have you changed the CF card to act like a hard drive? I can't remember the DOS tool you use to do it but I needed to do that before it would work.

The ATCFWCHG.COM Dos tool didn't work

It will only work with genuine CF cards that are capable of having the BIT changed to make them act like hard drives.

What do you mean by "fake"?

ALOT of 'Sandisks' floating around are fake, even some shops where you would think it is legit have been conned into selling fakes. I remember reading Currys in the UK had been selling fakes without realising.
