English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Is there a compability list for larger CF cards to PCMCIA?

It seems impossible for me to get my larger SanDisk CF cards to be recognized with my Amiga 1200 with AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 and inserted in to the PCMCIA - it simply does not show up and I have tried updating drivers with http://aminet.net/package/driver/media/CFD133

They have been formatted in Windows with FAT32 and I tried different sector sizes to see if it made any difference. I have also tried formatting the CF's with a 2GB FAT partition but not even that will be recognized.

I have for now concluded that the two SanDisk CF's I have, are both incompatible with the PCMCIA CF interface. The cards works fine when mounted in the CF IDE interface and can be used as internal harddisks.

Anyway, I have exactly these two cards:
* 32GB SanDisk Extreme Pro, 160MB/sec
* 16GB SanDisk Ultra, 50MB/sec

Any good idea for larger CF cards to buy? Ideally I can get a 32GB or 64GB CF that works :-)
