after a few hours i got it to work. hopefully this might be able to help you and/or any others with similar problems.

so first things first, i was told to open the CF0 file in Devs:DOSdrivers and edit something on there called dostype. you can edit it by typing this in shell. (for some reason the previous owner decided to put a space between DOS and drivers on the folder name so it would not open the file. make sure there isn't one!) ED Devs:DOSdrivers/CF0

next you scroll down to the bottom and change the dostype to dostype 0x46415401 if it's already that then don't worry about it.

if you right click the file CF0 and go to INFO on the toolbar you are going to want to change some of the "Tool Types", you can do so by pressing "New" near the bottom of the window. add in the two commands separately (ACTIVATE=1, MOUNT=1).

after all of that you might just be able to execute the CF0 command by clicking on the icon and it might just show up for you. if it still doesn't it might be how the card was formatted. i use a mac so we have weird options under the formatting utility like "Scheme". you are gonna make sure to format it as Fat32 (or in my case MS-DOS FAT) and set the scheme to Master Boot Record. that last part is pretty important because computers before windows xp cannot read schemes like GUID.

i really hope this can be of some use to you atomsmasha or anyone else scouring the internet for solutions. it has taken me almost a year to solve this issue and i can't wait to actually get some work done on this beast.

cheers

Done

YEAHH!

Hey sorry to revive this thread but I didn't want to make a new post so I'm just gonna ask my question here.

Okay, so I transferred one of my mod files over from OctaMED to Protracker to try it out and it loads and plays fine but, If I try to load any samples though I get a message like "IFF ERROR: NOT AN 85VX FILE". I've tried things like sample and then try to reload it and still the same problem. I there something I'm doing wrong?
