CF adapter and card orientation?

Liqourice · 20 June 2024, 13:21

New to CF and got myself a 44 pin CF adapter to use with my TF536.

I guess the triangle in the corner of the adapter indicates pin 1 so I should have connected the cable correctly, right?

The card has rails on its sides. There is only one way it fits in.

Yeah, I noticed that when I tried. Edited my post to reflect that. Just want to know if I put the cable correctly.

Well, I guess I need to get a smaller CF card to get things going.

Partition the CF Card so the Boot Partition is smaller than 1GB. I usually pep mine on my Windows Machine withe A USB to CF/SD adapter in WinUAE to do the initial OS setup, its faster.
Just don't let Windows Set the CF Card.
