Does anyone run Amiga CD32 with Terrible Fire 330 and :amiga: Workbench on CompactFlash card? :blobcatthinkowo:
Tried using 4 GB and 16 GB cards with CF image by Alen, but my setup seems to fail to read it - CD activity doesn't flash, screen remains black, CD is not being read if inserted :ablobcateyesflip:
Can anyone share their CF card image that runs? Does it absolutely have to be 8 GB card? Got so many questions :ablobcatbongokeyboard:

Окончание (?) эпопеи с апгрейдом #iPodClassic4
Берём адаптер 2x microSD → #CompactFlash и заправляем картами по 64gb, ставим в переходник и грузим вместо штатного #hdd в #iPod … -
Не стал париться с переходниками, сделал проще: купил на #avito #CompactFlash 32mb за 201 рубль
Разбился на 4 диска по 8 мб. Какой-то негуманно огромный кусок выделяет #Newton под заголовок!видели бы вы курицу на выдаче, это пздц

Нас ждут дальнейшие приключения, возможно успешные: приехал адаптер #CompactFlash → #PCMCIA
Жаль, что у #eMate300 только один слот: или #WiFi, или flash 😩
На крайний случай в хозяйстве есть ещё два ноутбука с #PCcard -

Do it yourself: CompactFlash adapter AmigaCF for Amiga 600 and 1200
The CompactFlash adapter AmigaCF for the Amiga 600 and 1200 is connected to the internal IDE port not by cable like other variants, but is plugged directly into it instead. In addition, noises are made during access, as a substitute for those made when accessing a real 2.5" hard disk inside the computer:

#CompactFlash is a minefield - or else I've just got a veeeery cantankerous old machine. Using one of these cards in a CF-IDE adapter, I can #boot from a DOS #floppy and set the flag to mark the card as a fixed disk. Using the other, the machine won't even boot from floppy. Yet they look almost identical.

I've been gifted a gorgeous #Sony #VAIO PCG N505X, introduced circa July 1999, which was originally bought for over €3,000. It still works beautifully!
The lid is very bashed around, though. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean that up? Is it even possible?
I plan to swap the hard drive for a #CompactFlash card, and I'll see if I can get a new battery for the machine. It comes complete with a dinky but sturdy carry case, a port replicator, charger, CDROM drive and a functioning 10/100 PCMCIA Ethernet card.

I finally got a #CompactFlash to #IDE adapter working in my gorgeous and rugged #IBM #Thinkpad760CD from 1996! The IDE disk continues to work beautifully, but using CF gives me more options to quickly switch operating systems.
I'd
ddrescued the IDE disk at various points along the way as I experimented with #MSDOS622, #Windows98 and finally most recently and most successfully, #WindowsNT4.I wrote those images to CF cards but bloody hell I dunno how many times I faced the dreaded error 174 early in POST (which indicates "no hard disk detected") while trying out different Compact Flash cards and adapters.
I finally hit on the right combination today, quite by accident, as I probably moved a jumper on one of the adapters that had failed for me before. This after very close reading of the Thinkpad Legacy Hardware forum on https://forum.thinkpads.com/
This CF card is a little bit faster than the original disk; I'd just picked the first 2GB one I found in my collection. I have benchmarked all of them so the next OS will go on the fastest one I can find. Probably an ancient Linux or IBM OS/2 Warp 4.
It's hard to describe the satisfaction of getting old kit like this working again! #retrocomputing

An easy solution to the large disk issue with vintage PCs is Western Digital's EZ-Drive. It installs itself in the boot sector, which is placed in the beginning of the disk, at a position where large disk geometry isn't an issue for the BIOS. It overrides the built-in BIOS calls for disk access, and makes the whole disk addressable for DOS.
It's not compatible with all drives, and the biggest disk size I could use was an 8 GB #CompactFlash module. It is, however, a really really easy solution that will get you off the ground quickly. CompactFlash modules are basically IDE drives with a different connector, so they're perfect for this - it also allows you to easily remove your "harddisk" and read it on another system.
If you choose a different solution for the geometry issue later on, the software can easily be removed from the boot sector with the installer software.

So I got that batch of 21 small-capacity #CompactFlash cards. Among them was this #IBM #Microdrive from 2000. It's a tiny hard drive in a slightly thicker-than-standard CF card package. I
ddrescued an image to see if the surface is good - it is - but the disk is egregiously slow. -

What's a sensible unit price for each of these? I'm not selling, I'm buying. I'm in Ireland.

I've not been having much success with CF to IDE adapters in my gorgeous #IBM #Thinkpad760CD, so I'm hoping this #mSATA to #IDE adapter will do the job. Though it seems to be impossible to find mSATA SSDs in sizes smaller than 64GB.

@[email protected] I’ve just come back from Tottenham Court Road CeX, where I took the e995 with me and tried out a 4GB compactflash card they had for £3.50 [1] and I asked if I could try it in the camera to see if it can format it – it couldn’t (we concluded it’s too big a capacity) so I didn’t get it
Hmm
[1] the pair of Fujifilm 64MB cards I normally use with the camera cost me £100 each back in 2001 ! – in fact more exclamation marks than that !!! (Yes megabytes)

Kia Ora. I'm searching for a #compactflash card reader for a #canon 400D #camera having stupidly broken several pins in mine. I'm hoping to repair it rather than buy another camera (which I'm in no position to do anyway). Please let me know if you know where I can get one. I've had no luck here, so am prepared to pay for postage (within reason). Merci.
