CF Card not working in OS 3.2.1

ScottC2010 · 22 January 2022, 05:10

Hi, my CF to PCMCIA doesn't function as I get card not found
I have installed the new KickStart 3.2.1 and also Workbench 3.2.1
I have also installed the Fat95 and the easy adf
I have Amiga 1200 plus 8MB Hawk
It all worked fine under 3.1.4 - should i use the card.resource and/or carddisk.device from that and make a new Custom ROM?

What are the computer specifications? I'm going to assume A1200 and 8MB RAM card? Have you dropped it to 4MB to see if it works?

You shouldn't need to do any of these!!! Mine functions fine on my 3.2.1 system with 47.102 ROM. Did you get form Aminet this https://aminet.net/package/driver/media/CFD133

Download it and Instal it and reboot. It should be ok.

Yes, those are the specs -1200 + 8MB, might try this too as a check but i use sd all the time so hopefully i can sort this as before

3.1.4 was broken. It made the PCMCIA port visible although its address range conflicts with the RAM expansion. The Amiga will crash if you insert a new PCMCIA card while the RAM is in use.

The A1200 is badly designed. The PCMCIA port is not available if your RAM expansion is bigger than 4MB.

How about 3.0 then? It seems to work for I/O only cards even if you have 8 MB of memory.

Yes, files from 3.0 previously worked - i'll have a play with a few custom roms

Thanks - that's interesting
