I think PCMCIA is hot swapable, I do it all the time when transferring files between PC and A1200.

Go to shell and type: CD CF0: what do you get?

Go to System: DEVS/DOSDRIVERS , do you see CF0 icon?

I usually keep the adapter in and swap the CF cards, so far no problems for at least 10 years, maybe even more.

Hi

In /dev/dosdrivers I have CF0

If I type cd cd0:  I get asked to insert volume cd0 in any drive.
Looks like the driver did not install properly.

I'm saying that because if the driver was installed correctly AND the cf card was not compatible then the response to CD CF0: would be "No disk present in device CF0".

Do you have fat95 file in dosdrivers drawer?
