Put the card in the PC and format again ensuring it is FAT32 and default settings, some cards come preformatted exfat which will not work.

Hi solarmon! Thank you very much for your response. I have Kickstart ROM 3.1 Version v40.063. I do have a 4 MB Fast RAM memory expansion, however removing it from the machine does not make any difference.

If you only have 4MB of FAST RAM then the PCMCIA slot should be OK. If you have a Gotek, or a way of writing an ADF to floppy disk, you can use my boot-cfd-fat95 boot disk to check if it works with that: https://sites.google.com/one-n.co.uk...boot-cfd-fat95 |

All right, here comes my test report!
I first took "Boot-CFD-FAT95-v7.adf" and copied it over to my HDD. I booted my Amiga 600 from the HDD, and used "tsgui" to copy the ADF image over to a floppy disk. Then I booted up the machine from the "Boot-CFD-FAT95-v7" floppy disk. The results are essentially the same as when booting the machine from the HDD. The device remains identified as "CF0:NDOS": Then I used "PrepCard" to see the card's Product ID: Not sure if it helps with further diagnosis, but here is the output from "WhichAmiga" utility: And here is the output from "SIP": Any suggestions on how to proceed from here would be highly appreciated! |

@DJ Gruby
According to my notes (on https://sites.google.com/one-n.co.uk...boot-cfd-fat95) if you get CF0:NDOS or CF0:Unitialized then that suggests the card is compatible but has not been formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. Are you 100% sure that the CF card has been formatted as FAT16 and FAT32? Make sure the whole card is formatted as a single whole partition. Otherwise, some CF cards are just not compatible, so try a different one. |

1. It is detected as /dev/sdd by the OS. 2. Mounting it with "mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/amiga". 3. Looks all good: "ls /mnt/amiga" show the content written into the previously formatted card. 4. Let's double-check the file system type: "mount | grep sdd" tells it's a FAT partition indeed. Code:
/dev/sdd1 on /mnt/amiga type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) Code:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdd1 2048 2046239 2044192 998.1M 6 FAT16 |

Is there somewhere you can buy a pretested CF Card & PCMCIA adapter? Really dont feel like blowing time and money buying several versions of each till one works.

For the same reason as you have asked, these are tried and tested. |

Thanks guys, i'll order the PCMCIA adapter from AmigaStore. Gonna dive back into my 1200 and finish this album.
Anyone used one of these SDBox V2s? A worthy alternative? Do they use the same port as the Open Amiga Sampler? https://amigastore.eu/en/825-sdbox-v2.html |

PCMCIA adapter arrived with a 16 gig CF card and it worked out of the box with the set up I did earlier for the cards that didn't work. It's only showing 2,966M free on the Amiga, can you get it to address the whole 16 gig?

What version of Workbench are you using? It might be simply an incorrect reading of the available space - older versions of Workbench (3.1 and before) don't calculate the free space correctly on large partitions.

I'm on 3.1, can I upgrade to something higher via a software update, or do I need to burn eproms?

It can safely be ignored. It’s just the ‘free space counter’ that resets.
File system (Fat95) and driver (CFD) is what matters and they both have no problems with 16GB, even on KS 2.0. |

And in case you want to upgrade anyway, both 3.1.4.x and 3.2.x will perform a software based ROM update on a 3.1 machine on cold boots, you just need to have enough RAM to hold the updated modules.

1.Your previous cf cards didn't get recognised because they were fat16 formatted I'd think. They need to be fat32 formatted
2. PCMCIA port is 4gb max cap iirc so maybe 16gb is folding it. Not sure if that's right tho. |
