I got my CFFA put a 256mb SanDisk CF in and was able to format part of it on a Laser 128.

I tried the 8 drive setting but couldn't see 8 drives, I get 2 drives in Slot 5 and 2 in Slot2. What should I be getting?

I am not at the ProDOS limit. I have Slot 6 (which shows 2 drives but only really has 1), a Sider in slot 7 with 2 drives plus a ram drive in slot 3, that's a total of 5 so I should be able to see all 8 drives.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried moving it to my Apple][ but so far I am getting unreliable results. Sometimes I get a listing but sometimes I get an error.

I do have a ZipChip running in my ][, but I'm not sure its doing anything. I don't ant errors when running programs

The center jumper (A13) of J6 should be removed (out). The other two should be left in place.

I don't think so... were your jumper settings correct?

I have never been able to get my zip chip running in my Apple ][+. But my card does work well with my //e platinum and a 8MHz Zip chip.

What version of ProDOS are you using during your testing?

I am not positive about this, but if you want all 8 volumes you will need to use a version of ProDOS at or above version 2.0. I use 2.0.3. You should try it for sure.

I have someone sending me a disk and I think that will solve the problem. I'll let you know.

I now have ProDOS 2.0.1 and I have tried it on my Apple][(+).

ProDOS 2.0.1 boots after I have installed a Rockwell 65c02.

I still cannot see the CFFA properly. Sometimes I get a partial listing of the directories. Sometimes I get a error.
