Mac and CF card Problem.maybe someone can help?
« on: April 03, 2008, 07:20:23 PM »
Hy am new to the Forum and it helped me a lot gathering info.
Now i got my A1200 HD and i got Problems with transferring from Mac via a CF Card to A1200.

First the cf card gets recognised by the A1200.
then i did put it in my mac and it gets recognised too.
i downloaded pinball fantasies .adf(Couldn wait to play it after 15 years!)

i copied to the cf and then tried to transfer to disk(with ADF Blitzer).
the A1200 could read the files but had an error while writing to disk....so i formatted the cf and now the mac doesn't recognise the cf card anymore...
Does anybody know which way i have to format the cf card with the amiga so that my mac can see the cf card again????
Thanks for any Help..tried everyhing... am off to the liquor store :-?

I have a look,i got the Amiga with OS 3.5 preinstalled...and used the tool from the Workbench selection to format the card...had a look at hd toolbox there was nothing written about fat......don't know if the 3.5 comes with some programm to format to fat16 or so ,thanks so far..will have a quick look

No i can't do that cause the card doesn't even show up on the desktop anymore after i formated the card in the Amiga.Before that i was able do use the card with the mac.First i will try to format it on a pc and then try to get that Fat format programm on My A1200...hope that will work!!!Thanks a lot!
