PFS3 on CF Card in PCMCIA port?

[spotUP]

Hi, is just fitted a cf card on the ide port of my a1200 and partitioned it with PFS3. Now i want to plug in my hd into the ide port and the cf card to the pcmcia port to copy files over, i heard you could only use fat95 when using the pcmcia port, is there no way to mount a pfs formatted disk in the pcmcia port? If so, How?

You can use whatever you want on the PCMCIA port. Fact is that compactflash.device does not mount partitions automatically, so you either need to make a mount list (similar to CF0 but with PFS3 instead of FAT95) or run a program which mounts partitions. For example with OS 3.9 comes the program Mounter which can do this.

As I thought then.
I tried to make mountlist for CF0 with PFS3 as filesystem but it seems i failed, could someone post theirs?

The mountlist is specific to your card, look at the geometry with hdtoolbox when you have it mounted to IDE.

Here is a program which can make a mountlist from the partition table: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthre...t=57401&page=2

Is there another source for these files Thomas?

I can't register with amiga.org, it thinks i'm a spammer?
