    Hello guys, i'm asking here because i have been following numerous tutorials and cant get it working for me using winuae.Im using the correct scsi.device but i cant get the full 16gb of the card, so i thought of preparing it directly under morphos. Being the only thing needed the partition setup and the format, could be possible to get it prepared on my mac mini with morphos?. The reason i ask is because being morphos a native amiga filesystem, maybe it could get it going. At the moment i'm stuck with a 16gb card and only 8gb getting recognized.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Well, i tried, but it is encountering read/write errors. Once created the partitions with hdconfig, they not appear on ambient. Its getting on my nerves now. I checked under windows and the card is ok, so what could be the reason i cannot format properly in pfs or sfs for amiga?

    No, when i mean is ok under windows i mean after cleaning with diskpart. Of course amiga partitions not show on windows and says device needs format.

    And did you format them between these steps? They don't appear on Ambient before you use the Format tool to format them after creating the partitions. And maybe unplug+replug the card reader between partitioning and formatting.

    And when you get the read/write errors?
