I just got a couple of SD-to-CF Type II adapters, and would like to
try it out on my CFFA.
The problem is that I can't seem to find the option to copy a recent
volume backup to a new (FAT-formatted) SD card, and I don't have any
other drives to allow me to run an Apple II formatting program with
the (unformatted) card in the CFFA.
I've used CiderPress to restore volume backups before, but I'm not
getting the option to do that to the FAT-formatted volume. I don't
seem to have any way to "unformat" it so CiderPress will see it as
a target volume. (Or maybe I've just forgotten the magic to do the
volume copy?? ;-)
"Never mind..." ;-)
I just didn't bring myself to click on the MSDOS partition...when
I did, the "Load from file" option lit up plain as day. ;-)
Well, that's annoying...
I sucessfully copied a 4-partition CFFA volume to the SD card, and
verified that all is well by opening it in CiderPress both as an SD
card and in the SD-to-CF adapter. It's a 2GB SD card.
But when I plug the adapter into the CFFA, my //e reports:
"CFFA: Device missing, not formatted, or incompatible. Ver:1.2"
That's what's annoying. ;-)
I'm using an SDCF-01 SD/SDHC CF Card Adapter, made in Taiwan, no
discernable manufacturer name. So, apparently, there are adapters
that won't work with the CFFA (at least V1.2).
