Compact flash problem with A600
« on: March 15, 2011, 04:49:35 AM »
I just upgraded my A600 with a Kickstart 3.1 Rom so I decided to install the classic workbench 68K .  I was using the Green alien edition before.  I got it installed but when i went to use my compact flash card the icon doesn't show up.  

what I got.

compactflash.device in Devs
fat95 in L
CF0 in Devs:DOSdrivers

I am a noob when it comes to setting up software on the Amiga so i might have something wrong.  It actually works after I open a CLI and type CF0:  so I'm stumped about what is wrong.

Open CF0 in a text editor and add

Activate = 1

at the end.

Did you change the icon of CF0? By default Activate=1 is among the tooltypes of the icon.

Thomas your the man.  I typed memacs in the shell  ( it came up ED v2 ) and opened up cf0 and the activate command was missing so I added it at the end and rebooted.  It shows up now along with the other icons.  Thank you very much.

A new experience .  I unplugged the CF adapter and the icon disappeared (as expected) but when I reinsert the adapter  the screen blanks for a second but then comes back up with the icon displayed.  It seems it only happens the first time.  If I pull it out and reinsert it the screen doesn't blank.  Is this some 3.1 quirk as it never happened to me under 2.1

Have you tried cleaning up your desktop? Select Clean Up from the Window menu when the Workbench window/screen is selected, or press Right Amiga + . (the full stop key) and it should clean things up. Perhaps when you insert your card, the icon appears off screen.
Yep i tried that because I had that happen to me in the past but it didn't show
