Yesterday I decided to look for a Compact Flash and an Adapter to use with my A1200 and my notebook to share files.
Well I found (all new):
1 SandDisk Compact Flash PC Card Adapter for € 11,90
1 SandDisk 64MB Compact Flash € 2,00
1 Dane-Elec 128MB Compact Flash € 2,00
(little memory but just to try with low money risk)
At home I installed cfd and fat95 and immediately all (copying, deleting files) worked quick and without problems! GREAT! MY AMIGA CDRW DRIVE CAN REST A BIT!
Later I tried to format any Compact flash card (ever on A1200) and unfortunately this doesn't work. The system ask for format options and if I'm sure to format, but when I confirm the Compact Flash icon displays "BUSY" and after a while the CF is there with its old name and the old files.
I tried to format with WB and with Shell/CLI command with the same result.
Does this happen to you too?
Could any one suggest a solution?
Thanks!
P.S.: This isn't a real problem. I can delete files with Amiga or format with PC, but just for curiosity... and BTW THIS IS A CHEAP AND EXCELLENT ADD-ON!!!
