Compact Flash and PCMCIA for A1200/600?

[TjLaZer]

I just tried a 1GB card and it works!  hmmm..

It could be something about that card.  Try formatting it on the PC or in your camera first.  Maybe hardware incompatibility.  I have a 2MB (don't remember the mfr) that won't work, but my SanDisk 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB do, as does the 4GB I just bought and now use as the hard drive.

OK having a major issue with the 1GB card!  It randomly locks up machine and it reboots when I try copying to it!!!  HELP!!!!

OK when I manually copied the files over one drawer at a time it went ok!  WTF

lack of power or bad drivers ?
which drivers do you use ? (use version xxxxxxxxxxx).
My 1Gb Kingstone Elite Pro works well on my A1200,pegasos,pc, ....

Might it be that it's formatted with Fat32 and that fat32 isn't supported?  Just a thought, and probably wrong at that.

Hmmm I will check the file system.  I did drag over a drawer of a crap load of games from WB to the CF and it worked ok.  This thing is nice!! Hey whats the largest CF card it can support?  I see some 8GB cards are out...

I bought a sweex PCMCIA adapter (model NB100030) together with a kingston 512MB CF card.
I have an Amiga 1200. There is no Turbocard in the expension slot at the bottom of my Amiga 1200. I use WorkBench 3.0
I downloaded CDF and Fat95 and installed these.

Now I can see in Diskmaster that there is a
CFO:  (DEV)
but there is no (VOL)

I changed also the CF0 file into:

FileSystem = l:fat95
Device = compactflash.device
Unit = 0
Flags = 2
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 0
Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
BlockSize = 512
Buffers = 20
BufMemType = 1
BootPri = 0
Stacksize = 4096
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x46415401


I can't read the CF card. What did I do wrong?
