Amiga compatible CF cards

[sim085]

Hi,

I am also looking to buy a CF card for a similar mod. However I really can't understand the difference between all the CF cards out there.

If I buy an 4GB CF card that has transfer rate of x133 then would it work with the Amiga? (and it is Kingston). Or I have to buy one that is exactly 2Mb, and has a particular transfer rate?

Regards,

Thank you ver much for the answers; Is there a way to know if a CF card is recognised as a fixed-disk mass storage or not before actually purchasing it? Also; this is a problem when connecting the CF card with a PC? or when connecting it with the Amiga? or both?

Don't know what you mean. You can use the same CF card on both, the Amiga and the PC. Only after you formatted the card as an Amiga HDD, the PC will see it as unformatted. Removable is a problem for the Amiga only.

That is what I wanted to know thanks.

Hi,

I tried looking on other forums but did not find anywhere a list of amiga firendly CF cards. I tried looking for Sandisk however they have many different type of cards.

Are all Sandisk CF cards recognised as fix disk?
If so I'll just buy one of those.
