Need link to CF Patch in Aminet

[Thomas]

Do not connect electronic devices while they are powered on. Switch off the Amiga, then connect the card reader to the PCMCIA port. Make sure that it is connected properly and that none of the little pins in the PCMCIA port are bended away or pushed back into the case. Then connect the CF card to the reader. Again make sure that it is connected properly.

Only now switch on the Amiga.

If this CF card does not work, try another one of a different brand and size.

Stop to mix up the words. The expansion port of the Amiga is called PCMCIA. The memory card is called Compact Flash.

You cannot connect EasyNet to CF. You can only connect it to PCMCIA if there is a network card connected to the PCMCIA port.

There is no such thing like a CF patch, there is a PCMCIA patch.

Make sure that EasyNet is disabled when you use the CF reader and make sure that the CF drivers are disabled when you use the network card.

You will never get a CF0 icon on the Workbench. You will get an icon with the volume name of the CF card as label. If the CF card is not yet formatted or is not recognised you might get a CF0:Unformatted or CF0:BAD icon.

Your assumption though that I have been doing hot swapping is incorrect...that's always the problem when one makes assumptions.

I've been doing everything as you describe, for days now with no results.

I am not making assumptions, I only read what you write:

The problem that I am trying to fix is a cf card freezing my A1200 the moment is inserted in the PCMCIA cf adapter.

I cannot freeze if it is not already running.

If you want accurate help you should learn to describe your problem carefully and correctly, with correct wording.

Finally, the files afore mentioned are indeed called COMAPCTCARD.PATCH AND COMPACTCARD.RESET, respectively. They come included in the EasyNet floppy and are also available from Aminet.

No they aren't. They are called CardPatch and CardReset. That's because expansions connected to the PCMCIA port are also called PC Cards as you can see in the readme:

When a PC Card is plugged in the PCMCIA slot ...

There is no "compact" in there and no "flash" either and also no "CF". Because this would just be wrong.

Calling the PCMCIA port "CF0" is even more wrong than calling it CF or Compact Flash.
