Hi,
Tried to use my new card reader to transfer some files yesterday and come up empty.
I got it from Amigakit ->
http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=440&osCsid=ed33a06c8d180a2dd805f333570f4795Although they include detailed instructions, I’m still too stupid to work it out (never even touched an Amiga before).
My first attempt was to install the software from disk which went ok, then restarted and was hoping to see a new icon which represented the flash card (a compatible 1GB). This didn’t happen just the same old HD partition icons. I can see that the install program put a new driver in sys/devs/dosdrivers and when you click on the icon it comes up with the message ‘CF0’ already mounted but still no icon on the desktop and I couldn’t navigate to it in the console either…mounted obviously doesn’t mean what I thought it meant in PC speak. I had the same kind of issues with the PCMCIA CDROM I brought, couldn’t get that working either.
Anyway I decided to try the ‘non-hd’ approach and just booted with the install disk in the drive. The install program warned me that some accelerator cards can block the PCMCIA port if they are over 4 mb so stopped the install and turned the power off before taking my 8mb memory expansion card out just to be sure. I then booted with the install disk in and this time it looked more hopefully with the flash card appearing as a new icon on the desktop, clicking on the icon seemed to work ok with the flash cards size correctly displayed in the window header…...progress. :-?
I then took the flash card out, stuck it into my PC and copied some ADF’s on to it before putting it back in the 1200. Unfortunately the Amiga couldn’t see the new files (I tried opening and shutting the window down) so I don’t know what’s going on. :getmad:
I was hoping to just be able to copy files from the PC in this way….am I missing something?
I’m running WB 3.1 on a 1200.
