| I have gone through most of setup on sd card install. My Amiga setup is 3.9 using Amikit for real install on top. ( I disabled a lot of functions.)For Vampire SD card install I downloaded all relevant files installed. Used HDtoolbox to install and partition with all the right parameters such as PFS03, identifiers etc. Then I try to mound sd as next step. It shows as sd0 and sd.info when using dir command Change over to relevant dir and try to mount Go to sd mount in cli and try to use giggledisk and this response: Unable to mount amithlon.device unit 0! Can't get pass this. There is no such device listed in Devs. What am I missing?

| Thank you Pedro, I have it working. Whether it is stable or not, we'll see. Renaming to sd0 in devs and editing dosdriver area did the trick.My one problem is some of my edit commands don't work. Was getting error like microgolded unknown command and also giggledisk wasn't reckonized. Went into Dopus and edited from there. Did a few tests, taking over to pc and copying a few files and worked back at the Amiga. Think I will look for an extension cable to run outside computer for easy access. Thanks again.

| FAT32 is easiest to setup, because fat95 device has partition geometry autosense. Format your SD card on PC to FAT32 fileformat in normal way. Do not use any Amiga tools like HDToolBox, SDMount or Giggledisk. Make sure you have: DEVS:sagasd.devive L:fat95 DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0 DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0.info Make sure that your DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0 mountlist uses partition geometry autosense, its contents must be like this: FileSystem = l:fat95 Unit = 0 Flags = 0 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 0 Surfaces = 1 BlocksPerTrack = 1 BlockSize = 512 Buffers = 20 BufMemType = 1 BootPri = 0 Stacksize = 4096 Priority = 5 GlobVec = -1 DosType = 0x46415401 Device = sagasd.device
Here's a tutorial for the SFS. You can calculate your SD card values from SDDiag block size info: EXTERNAL LINK

| Is there a list of compatible SD Cards? I have a few here, but none of them work. most are just not recognized. (basically old 1/2GB noname SD) Some seem to work but when I write to it I get errors (Samsung 16GB)

| What do you mean "not recognized "? HDToolBox?

| yes and also SDDiag does not show anything about this card, same behavior as no card inserted. But the card works fine in my old mobile (where it originates) and also with Linux/RasPi and Linux/x64_PC card reader.
