Hi all...
My amiga600 don't boot the os 3.1 with the board...
after maybe 15 sec. comes the os3.1 screen...
Without the board the os works fine...
It seems that the Vampire have a Problem with the ide port or the cf adapter...
I have a ffs system...
the green light is on and the red light on the board is working...
It seems that the vampire is not damaged...but have a trouble with my cf adapter...
I hope anybody can help me with this problem...
And sorry for my english...
Greetings from germany

Try with another compact flash.
It seems a timing issue...

Hi thanks for your answer...
I have try this with 3 other cf's...all the same...
I have 2 cf with speed 300 and 1 cf with speed 40
1: fresh os3.1
2: classic workbench lite
3: os3.9 Boing bag 3
I have seen that another User have written that the 2,5 cf adapter the Problem is...
He take a 3,5 adapter and it works but this is a 40 pin connector...?!
It is possible that the Filesystem is wrong...
I have take the ffs...
I will try it with another Filesystem like pfs or sfs...

Hello...
So I have my 128 mb cf card with sfs and classic workbench...
And it works... Yeah...
And here is another question...
How it works with os3.9?
Os3.9 is i think ffs or pfs...
Is that right?

I don't know about wb 3,9. I do not like it.

About your CF, probably if you hardcopy the working compact flash over the non working you will fix the problem.

I don't like it too...
But is for me the easiest way to become a HD with more than 8 gb...
I don't understand that with the patch...
