Looking for a little help folks. I've been happily using a PCMCIA CF card reader with a Transcend 8gb card to transfer files between my PC and Amiga for a few years now.
I replaced my ACA1233n card with a Blizzard 1260 on Thursday, installed the MMU libs and made the necessary changes to my startup-sequence to get it running.
I went to use the CF card but, nothing. The card isn't being recognised (no disk present in device cf0).
It can still be read on the PC side, and it worked before so I don't think it's a compatibility issue. The PCMCIA slot itself is working as I was able to get back online with the wireless LAN card. A visual inspection of the pins in the PCMCIA slot didn't indicate a problem, as did an inspection of the pins inside the card reader.
I've tried disabling the Blizzard, booting with no startup sequence and manually mounting the device. No joy either. I've also tried using the cf-rescue-disk, but to no avail.
Prepcard recognises a card is present, but if I try to format the device, it also doesn't recognise a card is inserted. I also reinstalled the CF card drivers (most recent version from Aminet) but that didn't help either.
Are the readers themselves susceptible to failure? As that's the only think I can think it is.
If anyone here has any experience of this I'd be grateful for any assistance - I've got nothing!
Thanks in advance!
