The cf0 file *does* have the activate=1 in it. When I run info I get the message that there is no disk in drive, the line of information is identical to that for df0: which has no disk in too. Typing cf0: in the shell gives me the same message albeit in a dialog box. I've tried to format but I...

I have just tried a 1GB card and nothing again. I've ordered a 128mb and 256mb card as a last resort. Am I really being this unlucky?

Yes, I've been using Windows to format the cards I have tried with PCMCIA with fat32 so I did this when I tried the old boot card externally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing new to report, but yes - worth a try anyway. Just to ensure I am not making a mistake, I took the card from the IDE boot connector and swapped it with one of the new cf cards. I then re-installed Workbench, the cf drivers and fat95 and tried my old boot card in the external pcmcia...

No, apart from the internal IDE-CF boot card this is pretty much a vanilla 1200. I suppose it is always possible that there is some other hardware problem but it seems to be in working order and a visual inspection of the motherboard shows no corrosion or obvious capacitor leaks. - - - Updated...

I have updated my CFD but sadly no change and that's on either of the two cards. I have ordered an older 1GB card for one final go. Sir_lucas, I think that's really only for internal connections and while it'd be simpler to copy from drive to drive, it'd be great if I could plug a card in when...

It's literally the latest as I grabbed it from aminet the day I first tried this so it is 1.32

I've got a 1200 booting from IDE->CF internally but just cannot seem to get an external card to be recognised. I've tried a Transcend 4GB 133x card and a SanDisk 4GB 200X card. I grabbed the fat95 and cfd packages directly form Aminet a couple of days ago, so I know I have the latest versions...

Hi! At the time I didn't really look at c but that is an option. Once I got into 68k assembler though, I found it very rewarding so perhaps a combination of c for OS level programming and in-line assembler where I am talking to the hardware may be the order of the day. It just depends on what...

Hello! The timeline is a bit fuzzy but I think I got my first A500 in 1989 after a spending a few months playing the long-game with my Dad, getting him on board with buying an Atari ST in the hope he would opt to spend the extra £100 to get the machine I really wanted. Upgraded to a 500 Plus...
