FOR SALE:
This item
is a fully prepared, Transcend 4GB compact flash card for the Amiga using a
suitable file system - it simply acts as a silent and fast hard drive for your
Amiga machine.
IMPORTANT NOTES: This cannot be used in the PCMCIA slot of an Amiga,
I'm afraid. Also, please do NOT install the card with your Amiga
powered on - you could damage your Amiga or the card itself.
Now you can play all your favourite Amiga games once you have installed your
own version of Workbench (not supplied here) on the DH0 partition first.
You can then use the CF card to play the installed Amiga games via WHDLoad,
which allows you to play them without swapping disks anymore - thus saving your
internal disc drive from wear and tear.
However, you WILL need a memory expansion in your Amiga to get the most from
this card and allow the machine to run most of the games included, although
many will still run on a stock Amiga (1-disc games only, realistically).
I also provide you with a link to a website that will tell you what the memory
requirements are for many of the WHDLoad games included, so you know which ones
should run on your machine too.
This CF card has been formatted with 3 partitions of the following sizes
(approximate) and organised in such a way that most of the WHDLoad games will
fit onto a 4GB card. The only ones missing are come CD32 versions of
games, but they have been included if there isn't an AGA version (A1200) of the
same game on the card, so you get the best of both worlds!
This is a fast-loading and silent equivalent to a standard hard drive in
your Amiga.
PLEASE NOTE: This item requires additional hardware to be used in a real
Amiga (see list below), but it can also be used in the WinUAE (Amiga
emulator). The extra items you need to use this item within your real
Amiga are as follows:
These extra items are included in this listing, but I do sell
these additional items on their own too, so please check out my other listings if you
want all the items you'll need. These Transcend 4GB CF cards come with no
Workbench installed (you must do that yourself and some other simple tasks
described in the documentation that I'll send to you by email - hence the item
being much cheaper than those that come with Workbench already installed). If you already own Amiga Workbench 2.05, 2.1, 3.0 or 3.1,
this is ideal for you - just make sure you install it to the DH0 partition.
Apart from not having Workbench installed, the CF card is fully prepared and
formatted to use in your Amiga as soon as you have installed it inside your Amiga computer. The CF card uses a file system that is
recognisable to an Amiga, but not to a PC (unless you use it in the WinUAE
emulator and choose the 'IDE0' method of communication when adding a hard
drive, or else it won't work in a real Amiga again afterwards).
As well as using it in a real Amiga (its main purpose), you could just use it
as a WHDLoad backup device for your Amiga if preferred, or even install
Workbench on the DH0 partition and use it within emulation on your PC instead!
I have been a seller on EBay since 2001 and have excellent feedback for my
