hmmmmmm very peculiar...
i think it might be a good idea if we had a sticky about CF in general including setups both IDE and PCMCIA (with tools) this could also include a lit of supported CF cards and Adapters. what say you oh global monitors!? (just making sure bippym is reading.... *captive* ) *hehhe* its like a magic word... i can help with some docs for it, i would also like to get thomas and you *loopos2000* involved as well now what could we call it... Sticky CF or CF Sticky!? hmmm i know we could have a wiki - sticky ) |

I think it's a good idea to have a 'CF Sticky'. More and more people are using a CF adapter nowadays as they very cheap and easy to transfer data between computers.

My new 44pin adapter works fine and I can now boot to wb 2.1 on my 1gb cf card .
I believe the problem is with CF>IDE adapters that configure the CF card as removable media rather than an actual HardDrive. |

I've bought such an adapter too...
Due to it's standard HD power-connector (no small one) I hope it works without problems in my A3000. I currently have one 1GB SCSI Harddisk and one 2GB IDE Harddisk on a BuddhaIDE running inside. Is it possible to boot from a CF Card and don't use Harddisks anymore? Best regards Andreas |

yes it is, i do it all the time... boot times are awsome.. (taking into account the delay of 3.1 rom startup)
I even have my winuae run from a amiga hd formatted CF card so i can plug it into the real thing whenever i want and then into the laptop via pcmcia ) |

Erm, that means - If I run a bootable CF card in my Amiga I can plug it out and use it under WinUAE on a PCMCIA slot?

yes it does indeed,
winUAE sees it as an amiga formatted HD so away it works ) *whoot* easy to setup and even easyier to take to and fro... OR if you want to you could use IDE |

Anyone know a place where I can purchase an internal IDE adapter for an A500? This would work great in an A500

i belive all you can get is the side-car version...
something like this http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...cgi?HARDID=522 or if you can get one of these. http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...cgi?HARDID=557 both of these can be moddified to work with a IDE-CF adapter and hence a CF card. there are others methods, but they are generally considered exotic, rear and or expensive. |

Sometimes there are internal ICD kits for A500 that plug into CPU slot. I've seen these on eBay, so they can't be 'that' rare.

yours appears to need power supplied to it, whereas the pics of the one on the right do not (I have a similar one, it does not need external power from a floppy drive connector). |

Anyway my 44pin adapter (shown) works fine. I believe non-working adapters are ones that configure as removable media rather than an actual IDE hard drive. |

yepo that will work as i have one of them on an amiga mobo at present for testing OS builds
its okay, one must remember that its the only device on a channel so you cannot follow it by attaching a ROM or something, as this would have to goto the secondary channel. (this is of course if you have the secondary ide-cf adpater slot with a media in) still its pretty darn cool... a el-cheapo 128MB boot drive coupled with a nice 8GB drive (or better ) |

I wont be bothering with cd drives after this lot, I have rebuilt a really nice basic 1200 and im currently thinking where can this flash adaptor sit and still look normal in the case |
