I have a PCMCIA to CF adapter, and here's what I've noticed.
1. If it has its included 512MB card installed, that is seen by the Amiga
2. If it has my former motherboard 16GB card installed, that is NOT seen by the Amiga 1200
3. Any attempts to add the card after boot, or remove the card after boot, freezes the Amiga 1200
I'm wanting to use my original OS disk (16GB card) as a shuttle between my PC (and WinUAE) and the A1200, without having to open the case all the time. Plus, I have a PiStorm32-Lite installed internally, which is now my main storage / OS environment.
I also have a Gayle fix board installed which is supposed to help the Reset line or something during soft boots?
Ideas? I'm wondering if:
a) 16GB isn't supported via PCMCIA for some reason
b) the CF-to-PCMCIA adapter I got is dodgy
