Installing EasyADF PCMCIA with WB in HDD

[tribz]

@tribz

To enable CF mounting from a hard disk, run the Install-ADAPCMCFL icon.  This will ensure it is mounted on startup with your hard disk's Workbench

Done that, it's not a problem though as putting mount cf0 in my start up sorts it for me.

PS, Thanks for the super quick postage of the indi mkII that arrived this morning :-)

And where do I find that file? Please remember that I am not uisng the amigakit product/installation, but a cf adapter I bought from another user.

I did find all the files cammy asked me to check for, but I don't have a CF0: drive showing on my desktop,

Please any advice?

To edit the Startup-Sequence file, you can enter the following in a Shell:
Ed S:Startup-Sequence

Cammy gives some good information in this thread, but I can also add the following:

1. Certain memory expansion and accelerator cards conflicts with the pcmcia port if they contain more than 4MB RAM. So what kind of card is installed in your Amiga (if any)?

2. I have read somewhere that certain devices may not actually be activated when they are mounted, and that the reason for this is because the file system isn't loaded until the device is accessed somehow (this is done to avoid using any extra memory until it's necessary). I do also belive this is why certain mount files contain an "Activate = 1" line.

Anyway, there are two things to try if this is the problem, and that is to simply remove and insert the cf card adapter again, or to enter "DiskChange CF0:" in Shell.

To All, I guess the problem is the card and unfortunately it's the only one I have right now. It's a Transcend CF 2 GB 133x and the PCMCIA CF reader is the old one that is sold by Mechware with their PCMCIA card readers for the Amiga.

I found all the files cammy and others asked me to find. But still when I insert the cf card, the computer freezes.

I need to buy another card. Any suggestion which type and from where?

[WeiXing3D]

Quick update....the Transcend 2.0 GB 133x is listed as compatible in the link provided by cammy. That's the one I have.

So why it's not working for me?

[WeiXing3D]

I tried this, but the again when I insert the card the computer freezes.

Like I said before, all files are where they are supposed to be: CF0: is in SYS: Devs/DOSDrivers/ and CompactFlash.device is in SYS: Devs and Fat95 is in SYS:L/

Any other suggestions?
