CF Card Setup ?
I have a new CF card and just want to use it to go between my Mac and Amiga to transfer files between to two machines, not to use as a HD.
The card is read by my Mac OK but when I put it in the PCMCIA card adapter and put it in my Amiga it comes up on the the screen as unititilized. I have another 4GB CF card that came with EasyADF kit from Amigakit and it is read by my Amiga as CF0: 4GB and I can use it on my Mac, how that was setup I have no idea.

It must be formatted with fat32 file system. NTFS for example will not be read on the Amiga.

Not all cards are compatible. |

Yeah like Akira said, I went through half a dozen CF cards before I found one compatible with the PCMCIA on an Amiga, I guarantee 100 % its the CF card, I found That the Sandisk range work best for me,it really is a suck and see situation

Yup... 4GB SanDisk Ultra 25 MB/s. Only thing I've gotten to work reliably and correctly over the years with PCMCIA slot. Watch out for fakes on FleaBay though!

Yeah man, almost anywhere nowadays actually.
Now I tend to buy storage media on a reputed chain or store, yes I pay a little bit more maybe, but I'm tired of dealing with fake cards all the time. Even some bought on Amazon proved to be fake years later when they broke and I tried to claim them. A reputable store will not risk the shitshow that can fall upon them for storing fake cards. Now I always, ALWAYS pay attention to the card and look for the marks that make it fake or not, and return right away anything fake that landed on my hands. |

Right so can anybody point me the direction of a card that will work because the Sandisk ones
seem to be a few and far between, and they seem to sell for high prices now ? |
