Compact Flash and PCMCIA for A1200/600?

[TjLaZer]

OK Amiga FREAKS!  I need help.  (I know a rare time indeed) LOL

I need to get a PCMCIA to Compact Flash adaptor card for my A1200.  I want to transfer files back and forth to my PC.  I also want to back up my 80MB HD that is on it.  What cards work and what software do I need?

Thanks!

My SanDisk CF adapter works fine.  For software all you need is CFD and FAT95.

Will this work?

AmigaKit has one that works great (I bought one,) and comes with all the software you need.

Here's the direct link:

The PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter kit is supplied with EasyADF software for quick conversion of ADFs and LHA files.

It is hard disk installable but a hard disk is not required as it can be used by the stand alone boot disk.

Of course, the EasyADF software is always being developed further and we will upgrade all existing customers software for free.

How do we go about getting that upgrade?

So will the SanDisk card at the below link also work?

Thanks

the point is it must be the older 16bit adapter. I think PC Card means 16 bit. And Cardbus was 32 bit. (it might be viceversa, need to check) So it should work. the maker doesn't (shouldn't) matter. maybe the size of the flash card you put inside matters (no bigger than amiga can handle). You also need to get the cfd driver and fat95 file system driver from aminet and install these on your amiga somehow.

btw, it seems like the cfd device also works for SD/MMC cards, but I didn't test extensively.

To quote Agard the indian agent from "McLintock":

"Now, why didn't I think of that?"  :smack:

Seriously, I've emailed and PM'd.

Well, I didn't mean it like that  :lol: . Hmm.. noticed this message from Amigakit, so maybe their contact form gets thru more quickly.

Just got a SanDisk Connect Plus PCMCIA adaptor card and tried my 16MB Nikon Compact Flash card and installed CDF and Fat95.  No go.  When I try to mount CF0: it hangs my A1200.  Any ideas???

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