Cf PCMCIA question

Hristos1975 · 12th June 2011, 11:42

Hello guys

I have recently bought a PCMCIA adapter and transfer disc to pass adf from my pc to my A600 and I want to buy an cf and I don't know anything about cf compatibility with A600 so I d like to suggest me what cf to buy

Sorry for my bad English

Ps I want to use it to transfer files with PCMCIA and not as a internal hdd

Thanks
Gristle

Hi there Gristle,

SanDisk compact flash memory cards are about the most stable cards that I have found to work on the 600 or 1200 Amigas for the PCMCIA slot. If you only intend to use the card for transferring ADF files, a 256 or 512 MB card would probably be more than big enough

All the best,
Allen.

I'm using a 64Mb Iomega sometimes. Works all the times.

I'm using a 512MB SanDisk and it works fine

I'm using a 64mb (Cannon/Jessops)also! It does the job

I do use something bigger and more serious for the 1200 tho

I'm using a Transcend 133x 4GB card on my A600 and A1200 with no problems at all.

Kingston work fine, just make sure your card is a type I or II and it will most likely work I believe.

I had problems with getting a 4gb kingston (flower design) to work in pcmcia, works fine as a hard disk, but doesnt work in pcmcia, now using a small (256mb) kingston that just says compactflash in orange and it works fine.

I assumed if it worked in one it would be fine in the other.... guess I will find out soon as i've just got a pcmcia reader.
