Would this CF be compatible with Amiga?

[Gavilan]

Hi, im asking if this CF cards would be Amiga-compatible

Reason is that they are rather "cheap" (around 30 dollars) and have 4GB

If anybody here has the same working in your Amiga, please let me know

Any feedback, much appreciated
Thanks in advance

PD: what about Transcend, SanDisk and Kodak brands? Are they compatible with Amiga?

Sandisk should be compatible.

Sandisk should be compatible.

Yes, and also the most expensive (at least in this lands)


What about the ones in the pics? Any ideas?

I have used some CF cards that seem to work fine, format and install Workbench on them, but a lot of programs won't run and other strange errors occur, so the CF cards mustn't be fully compatible. Sandisk cards always work, and I've never had any problems with them.

Well, kingston should also work. Dunno about the other one.

Avoid Kingston...

Hi gav, I've had trouble with a Kingston one. Think it was the one with the yellow flower on it. Just to echo a few of the other comments, Sandisk seems to be good. In particular I use a SanDisk Ultra II 15MB/s 4GB one fine.

Yes, I have that one too.

Kingston CF cards work just fine here. I only use the 4Gb cards for WB 3.0+ and WHDload and never have any problems.

I think it was the kingston with the bright yellow flower and bright green leaves that I couldnt get working.

Something wrong in the Kingston garden

Use a microdrive same interface as CF... Much better... No limited write cycles...

No, but they die just for fun, depressed suicidal midget drives that they are.

I had no luck with the Kingston card in your picture, but it worked great in my 128T.

I'm also using a 4GB Hitachi Microdrive, but I don't see any real advantage compared to an SS CF card. Amiga doesn't use a swap file/virtual mem and the number of writes to HDD in general is incomparably lower than in the PC world - any CF card should last for 10+ years. I'm using a MD just because I had one spare from doing an iPod Mini CF coversion.
