Use of 4MB PCMCIA Fast Flash Memory as Fast RAM in A1200
I have made a mistake and bought this 4MB PCMCIA Fast Flash Memory from ebay. Can it be configured for use as fast RAM by the A1200?

If you're looking in the future, it has to say SRAM and will usually have a coin type battery in an accessible compartment.
Hope you didnt pay too much. See if you can return it. Look for any anomaly on the advert, anything that would result in you being able to return it. |

Get cfd.lha and optionally fat95 if you want to keep it fat32 formatted.

I installed compactflash.device into devs. The card is not seen by the amiga.
The card is a 2mb FLASH PCMCIA card. Am a bit lost to be honest. |

Did you create a mountlist for your card? It won't be seen unless you tell the computer what size it is (cylinders heads sectors) and tell the computer to use your new compactflash.device.
