i formated card with vista.

The display show reading fat when card is empty or when cfg. file is on.

Can you check that you are using a 5V power supply source ?

In this case try to find another SDCard brand/model and update the firmware with this one :

Of course. You need HFE files image on your SDCard.

Some ready to use HFE files :

Hi there!

I have a Akai S950 with the ib105 board... bought a DMA cable and a cased ICD Advantage Plus ST hostadapter connected to a Conner harddisk, Syquest 270mb drive and a centronics adapter... but it won't work.
I connected two different external 100mb zip-drives and one 250mb zip-drive to the centronics adapter... won't work.

I heard that you have to wait for like a half minute until you switch on the s950 after turning on the external components... won't work.

I wanted to connect the recently ordered Rev F cardreader to the icd adapter (instead of the syquest drive) to back up my floppies... and after that's done build it inside the s950

What am I doing wrong???

Now I want to check if the icd board is okay. Does anyone know which of the 50 pins is for the power???

Any clues, any solutions...

Please help me out here!

One more thing:

Do I need to load the icd software on my s950???

If so... how do I manage that???

Thanks in advance,

950er

What is the "icd software" ? (in fact the question is : what is an icd board ?)

Hi Jeff

thanks for the quick response!

The icd software is tu run the icd board on the atari but I guess I can't install it the usual way in my 950?!

The icd advantage plus st is an "interface" made for atari st's... http://www.icd.com/atari/

The 950 has a 19pin Atari DMA port (ib105) which is connected to the icd board to "normally" use hd's and other external hardware like the floppy emulator.
