PCMCIA to CF-card on OS 2.0

[carls]

Hi all!
I'm trying to find information on how to use the PCMCIA to CF adapter on an A600 with OS 2.0. The disk supplied with the adapter doesn't work, at least not out of the box, since it assumes Devs/Dosdrivers exists.

It's been a while since I worked with 2.0 but if I remember correctly, I need to construct a mountlist. I've been trying my google-fu to no avail. I hope you guys can help!

Just append the contents of CF0 to devs:mountlist and surround it with CF0: and #.

Like this:

CF0:               <=== add this
FileSystem=...     <=== begin of contents of CF0
...
DosType=...        <=== end of contents of CF0
#                  <=== add this

And add mount cf0: to s:startup-sequence.

What version of kickstart are you using? And doers the machine have a hdd?

Kickstart 37.299 is broken and hdd doesnt work on it, not sure on pcmica, 37.300 works and 37.350 has no issues.

It's an A600 HD with a working HDD. It also worked fine with a CF->IDE adapter. Pretty recent kickstart IIRC.
