PCMCIA CF Card Not Displaying!
« on: June 20, 2012, 08:34:43 PM »
Just got a pcmcia adapter from ebay but didn't bother paying the £6 extra to get software to make it work on CD how hard can it be I thought... hard it turned out.

So I have formatted a 4GB CF card I was using as a harddrive to FAT32 and put fat95 into C and the cdf into devs/dos as instructions say. However nothing shows up when I insert the card of when I type mount cf0 in the shell :-( Anybody got any ideas?

Which brand of CF do you have? What is your Amiga setup?

I have a transcend 133x 4GB card which I also have in my IDE adapter as my main hard drive. I am running classic workbench on an Amiga 1200.

Got annoyed and purchased a pcmcia wireless card from amigakit to hopefully finally get file transferring sorted! Don't want to have to take the case off my Amiga any more to swap the hard drive into the PC or spend half my life waiting for files to transfer over a null modem cable!

If amigakit will sell you the software, its brilliant! I'm using it this evening to transfer some ADF's from my PC to my 1200 on a CF Card.

Is it mount cf0: with the colon that your typing?

Yeah I was using mount cf0: Given up now just going to wait for my wireless card, bit of an excuse really to buy something quite cool for it! A wireless Amiga! Who would of thought it back in the day!

You will probably have more trouble with the wireless card then the CF card setting up TCPIP :) .
Try to find maybe smaller CF card, like 512MB or less, I have Sandisk adapter and Sandisk 256MB CF card, work great together.
Also some accelerators/RAM cards on A1200 can cause problems with the PCMCIA port, remove them if you have one installed.
