CF>IDE problems

[smiley1635]

I bought the following CF>IDE adapter from Ebay:

I have tried it with a 32mb and a 1gb CF card with no luck.

I attached it to my A600 system with a 2.5 > 3.5 ide cable and set it to master. HDtoolbox on the WorkBench 2.1 install disk could not see either the 1gb or 32mb.

I tried attaching it to my A1200T system by setting it to slave and putting it on the same IDE channel as my boot HD. Again HDToolBox (OS3.9) could not see either the 32mb or 1gb card.

Why is this?

I have also just put it in my XP machine as a slave and XP detected it and installed it. It worked fine so the actual adapter is not faulty.

Hi,
some Cflash brand are not usable as IDE device on Amiga ...
On your 1200T, set it as Master, put on the 1st connector on the 1st ide channel and put your IDE hdd as master on the 2nd connector of the 1st ide channel.
This is how i get a Sandisk 64mb working and recognised with HDToolBox (os3.9BB2) !  :idea:
Then I was able to put it in my A600. But this last one doesn't want more than 1 partition on it nor to be atached with a CD drive !!!  :madashell:
