One Sick Miggy cont'd, PCMCIA slot problems
« on: August 15, 2010, 03:06:38 PM »
Bought a A1200 from a US member on here who listed it(on Ebay) as a "A1200 with compact flash HD, w/games". Wanted to try my luck at using a IBM HD 10Gig and
rebuild the system from scratch. Had to reach back to my old MFM HD days and got the drive working, but now I find the PCMCIA slot has a rather odd
issue. I have 2 CF cards and different readers that are 2 Gig(Sandisk) and 4 Gig(Sandisk) but show up as 80Ns memory; these work fine. I have another set
which are 4Gig (1 Kingston, 1 Sandisk) but they show as being 400Ns(Nanosecond); they both refuse to work. All 4 cards work in my other 1200 with no
issues. I have completely copied the OS and programs from the working MiggyHD to the one having issues. I have also tried both accelerator cards (GVP JawsII,
MTEC 1200)I have in both machines, everything works in the one A1200 but not the one I am rebuilding. Is there anywhere I can set the speed, maxtransfer
of the PCMCIA port. I'd hate to have to go get another motherboard just for the PCMCIA slot.
All advice welcomed....:confused:

Update, I have found that the drives can be formatted at shown to be formatted in the working machine. It looks like the read function has a issue in the PCMCIA..
