You need to install CompactFlash.Device and
Fat95.


I've been using those for a long time now and they're fantastic. Pretty easy to set up as well. This seems to be the best way to transfer files from PC to Amiga. My only complaint is I have to click the CF0: icon to mount the card, rather than having it recognized soon as its stuck in. That's a pretty trivial problem though.

Format it as a DOS partition, you dont need CardPrep or any other Amiga software to format it. Do it on a PC or Mac, or better yet, a camera if you have one that takes CF cards. Once you install the FAT filesystem driver from AmiNet, the Amiga should see it (once you mount the CF0: device).

That's odd! My CF0 is in Workbench:Devs/DOSDrivers and I get an icon for the Compact Flash card as soon as it is inserted.


Looks like my CF0 was in DEVS: not DEVS:DOSDrivers, so it wasn't getting automounted. I think the compactflash.device docs said to put it in DEVS: so I did. I moved it and it mounts now.
