Amiga IDE>CF setup assistance please!

I've never used WinUAE to try to prep an Amiga hard drive, so I'm not going to be much help there.  Again, my .02 cents, just get yourself some 3.1 disks (for the princely sum of $14.25 USD) and boot off those.  See if the hard drive is recognizable in HDToolbox and prep it from there.  That's what I'd do.

Yeah my floppy drives have this awesome new "disk-shredding" feature that I haven't been able to turn off. Kills floppies.... WinUAE my only hope.

I'm in the midst now of trying to install pfs... and this picture let me know that others have trodden this path before...

Congrats on getting it working!

Agreed. And share how you got it working in case someone else has the same issue.

Oh boy oh boy! It worked.... I think... now to go fish out a machine from the garage...

The little rubber feet on my 1200s are all decaying and leaving sticky crud on every surface... is there something I can do to stop them being so gross? Or do I just remove them completely? This isn't really a crucial question.... just chatting =)

I've never known the feet break down before, but they are for sale at all Amiga retailers, plus EBay and Amazon I'd of thought as they're not Commodore-specific parts.

I cut 2cm hot glue silicon and with a lighter I glue them as feet.
Looks great, feels great.
