Hi All,

So I have reconnected my Amiga after getting it re-capped. And I am trying
to install a new CF card hard drive. I have done it before more that once, I
have no interest in using a PC since I don't own one and UAE to do it. I have always
done it on my amiga. I have a brand new connector and a brand new Kingston
CF card, but my system won't recognize it. When I have the jumper set one way
the connector light and my H Disk light on the Amiga are always on. So it is getting
power. Change the jumper and no light at all. So any and all advise that any
of you could give me would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Brad Hansen

Connector inserted backhand must respect pin 1
Careful risk of burning the CIA chip

@Punkyclown

Normally your 'CF Card connector' should be a IDE to CF-Card Interface. So if you have connected it right and used the power connectors provides with it, you must still format your CF card with HD-Toolbox.

Try first with the 2GB card, one partition with maximum size and default parameters should work.

Have you tried your cards in a PCMCIA adapter?

Might be worth trying a standard 2.5" hard drive if that is not seen then. I would say your motherboard has a fault. Has it been recapped ?
