Default Re: cf card

You can't prep it. That feature is only for PCMCIA memory cards.

You need cfd and fat95 which you can get on Aminet. Install them and you can use your CF card just like a Hard Drive.

Default Re: cf card

It's been awhile since I bothered with it, but I think you simply put it in the C: drawer.

Of course, if you read the docs, it'll tell you how to set it up.
