in what way ??
I know you need a patch to use cf/sd cards with em
@Tom
Unfortunately my friend, the problem you are having is down to the fact that the Buddha and Buddha-Catweasels will only recognize Fixed Drives.
Most CF/MicroDrives are set as Removable.
On some cards / drives you can change the the removable setting to fixed - in windows under Drive Management. By doing this you change the CF to run in true-ide mode - its important to know that some "cheaper" cards do not have this feature.
I would suggest a SanDisk device any day, but I will give a good mention to both PNY and Transcend devices too as they seem to be fully featured and of good quality. I don't rate Kingston based devices in the slightest however.
If your CF/MicroDrive adapters cannot be set as Fixed - True IDE mode then you have the option to use a scsi.device patch from Doobrey - scsi.device 44.2 - this will allow the Buddha / Catweasel controllers to used removable devices.
I will say that there are later scsi.device updates that should also provide this support.
there is a patch on aminet for the buddha flash eprom with removeable drives working. i dont tested this, just an hint.

Oh well, me again. Wanted to know what that patch is/does? Is it just software or also that above mentioned eprom patch? Well, the archive doesn't work for me, getting 2 errors and no files in archive extracted :(
anyone who can unarchive that???

I have my dual Compact Flash adapter in my A4000D connected to a Buddha Flash Phoenix edition card and I've been able to use every card I've tried in it, including SanDisk and Kingston. I have not installed any patches either. Maybe the Flash Phoenix version plays better with removable media?

Hello,
Hmm, I wondered about booting a CF HDD (HDD Format) on the catweasle Zorro-II S-Class with Buhhda built in.
@SkydivinGirl:
Do you use CF as HDD or FAT removeable media? I tried on my Buddha, but it does not work. It's worse then the internal A4000 port - there it works perfectly. Individual computers really is not my friend especially with their last products they came out. :mad:

I know I have booted from the CF using my Buddha Flash Phoenix board in the past but I now use it only for FAT32 removable media. :)

Sandisk disks typically don't report as removable; buddha doesn't support removable disks. I suspect that's why SdG's disks work.
An important note to mention here is that most SanDisk that I have tried (except a 128mb card) have all been able to be set as Fixed Disk using windowsXP - computer management.
I believe that the Extreme 3 and 4 series should come as FixDisk as standard
Hello,
Can you explan setting to fix disk? Is it Hot-Plug (on PC side) then any longer??
I had SanDisk all the time, but for me it was not working out well :(
