FastATA can't see Transcend 8GB card

[paul1981]

Are there any powerflyer software updates? Occasionally there's FastATA software updates. Wasn't the powerflyer from the 90's? Mike's right though, HDToolBox should see it. Have you checked the master/slave jumper on the CF adapter? Have you checked the CF adapter on anything else (like PC or A600/A1200 IDE)?

Edit: Okay, I see now that the old 4GB card works fine with it. That sorta rules out the adapter like you say.
On my FastATA there's different transfer modes that can be selected. What kind of config options are in your powerflyer prefs?

I suppose it would be okay to email amigastore.eu and ask them whether the Transcend 8GB card that you have will work with their CF adapter that your purchased from them for your PowerFlyer. Just tell that that it's not detecting it - they may know why. They may be able to advise.

Are you sure the CF card isn't a fake?

Have you tried other PIO modes? Hmmm...like you say, if it doesn't detect it, I can't see it mattering.

I use the 4GB version of that CF card in a PCMCIA CF adapter on my A1200/A600.
