Hey all

Can anyone give me any pointers on setting up the micro SD, I want to be able to move files between my Amiga and Mac but so far have only got it working with an Amiga file system which doesn’t show up on my mac

Format your SD card on PC/MAC to FAT32 (0xc) file format in the normal way. Do not use any Amiga tools like HDToolBox, SDMountter or Giggledisk.

Make sure you have:

    DEVS:sagasd.device
    L:fat95
    DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0
    DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0.info

And on Startup-Sequence:

    VControl SD=3

Make sure that your DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0 mountlist uses partition geometry autosense, its content must be like this:

  FileSystem=l:fat95
  Unit=0
  Flags=0
  LowCyl=0
  HighCyl=0
  Surfaces=1
  BlocksPerTrack=1
  BlockSize=512
  Buffers=300
  BufMemType=1
  BootPri=0
  Stacksize=4096
  Priority=5
  GlobVec=-1
  DosType=0x46415401
  Device=sagasd.device

Hi Simo

Thanks for answering. I am not an expert and got a bit lost after the instructions to format the micro SD. I’m running coffin os and the things you mention are not in the devs folder. I will have a look on YouTube! Many thanks for taking the time to respond though

If you use coffin the only thing to do is to format the SD with Fat32 fylesystem. Then mount it on Amiga clicking the SD mount icon on system folder

  having similar issues, for some reason on my Mac if I try to format it to fat it doesn't see it... I throw it in my Linux box, format it to fat32 and it works fine.

I tried that and formatted the disk in parralels desktop as Fat 32, plugged it in the vampire and bingo, it worked straight away! Thank you
