I got a Panasonic A1GT and a Sunrise CF IDE (since a few days).
After booting with my Sunrise CF, I always have the "No Enough Memory" message...
After reading some threads on this forum, I tried to start my computer pressing <DEL> on startup to boot from the Sunrise floppydisk ... Then I launched FDISK 3.10 software to create partitions and to format all of them.
At the FDISK menu, only have :
[T]oggle drive
[E]xtended drive info
and
[Q]uit
But problem : Keyboard is locked ... Impossible to do anything ...
Thx for your help !

The no enough memory is because MSX loads PC code from boot in CF card.
Only 3 options... too few, you can see the card model in the upper of screen?
Which cf card do you use?

I tried with 3 compact flash models ...
- Kodak 32 Mo
- Verbatim 128 Mo
- Kingston 512 Mo
And I always have the "No enough memory" message OR the keyboard locking under Fdisk (after a pressing <DEL> at startup) ...

you insert CF in the bad connector
insert two CF in the IDE CF
[T]oggle swap CF1 CF2
you can read the CF Model and change it
you can format with the command menu

Merci Jipe 
But how can I insert CF in the bad connector ???
I tried yesterday evening to insert an other CF at the same time and no way ...
I tried with an other CF (a fourth CF 64M) ; and always the same problem.
I just received this Sunrise Compact Flash IDE dew days ago, and I think it's broken ... |

If it's broken and only a few days old perhaps you should return it for service.

the CF have a Master and a Slave connector : put one CF in master
have you try re-flash the Bios inside the cartridge with IDEFLOAD.COM ?

Yes, I always upgraded my CF again with the IDE240 ... without any problem ...
And for the suggestion about slave and master, of course, i tried to change position of my CF cards.
