Is not possible anymore, i get error messages.
![]() yes i have, but its still NDOS. I think the cf-card is now corrupt. The inserted cf-card freezes the emulator, after a while the emulator starts. |

If it wont format in anything, then not much more can be done. What about adding it as a HDD and using HDToolbox to set it up as a HDD. Then it that works, format it using windows. |

then i can see my cf-card in the list but any changes seems to be not saved. Yesterday i have managed to get 2 working Partitions, but an errorr occurs while copying files of a prepared HDF (checksum error or similar),then i have canceled copying, from this point i had this trouble. I think i need a new card ![]() |

Next problem:
I have got the ordered 2,5``IDE > CF-Card Adapter with 44 pin IDE cable (bundled) to connect to internal IDE-port of my Amiga, but i can not, i am confused ![]() because the internal port has 44 pins and the IDE cable has only 43 holes(female). So whats wrong, its a wrong cable? |

Hi mai,
If the IDE cable has 43 holes, it will be to match certain interfaces which have a pin missing to ensure that the cable is not plugged in the wrong way round. To make this cable fit the Amiga's IDE port, just use a jeweller's screwdriver to prize out the blanking plug blocking the hole. ![]() PS. Of course, this will not be possible if the connector at the end of the IDE cable is actually moulded with a blocked hole. ![]() |

The red marker on the IDE cable is meant to align with Pin 1 on the motherboard and CF-IDE adapter. If you align the red marker with Pin 1 of the connectors at either end (indicated either by a figure 1 or by a triangular arrow on the motherboard and adapter PCB), then there is no need for the missing pin and blanking plug to force the correct alignment.

Thanks again, now i have managed to get my amiga working with the CF-card, it seems to be working fine, but unfortunelaty i have next problem.
![]() It seems to be an input problem, there is no mouse movement(left and right mouse buttons are working) and there is also a problem with the keyboard. Some wrong, strange characters appears if i press a character once(short), if i press long, wrong charackter appears once followed by the right one, strange, maybe i should clean the whole board, but this is now off topic. |

Ok, i have checked transfer rate with a program called "DTA".
I have selected a 300 kb file for reading. CF-HDD(FFS International) on internal IDE port i got ~430 kb/s - its slow i think. CF-Card(FAT formated) in PCMCIA slot i got ~ 2,4 mb/s - seems to be ok. Any info? |

Hey Mai,
Before you go, have a look here: Prepping compactflash as IDE drive with emphasis on MaxTransfer value. |

I have got a CF Card and SanDisk Extreme III 4GB CF card for my friend's A600. After installation I have got a black screen - no boot. Then tried with a CF card and without - no luck. Also I gave a try with my old IBM 340MB microdrive CF card - this same issue. Both cards was tested on a PC and the 44-pin wire is OK (working with a HDD).

Maybe the CF-IDE adapter is faulty or incompatible with the Amiga?

I admit that one seems like it should be compatible, but nothing is certain.
