Hi there,

I have a problem formatting an 8mb SRAM Card with the tool Prepcard



Click image for full original size

When I try to format it as system ram, I get an error that the card is write protected which she isn't in fact!

Might the card be dead ?!

@amigat

no I haven't... the SRAM should work without the battery ... so is there another tool that allows formatting?

I'm not sure if this card is broken or not. at least its recognised by the amiga
