How to use 160gb HD on Amiga 1200?

You should make a 1mb custom kickstart using mfilos guide. That way you woun't have those problems. http://www.mfilos.com/2010/12/guide-create-and-burn-custom-kickstart.html

That guide has 2 problems, if you are intrested just ask.

SCSI device has a 127gb limit and usually it has problems Awith hds bigger than that.

There is still a 128gb limit with scsi.device?

Having a big hard drive with original 3.1 roms is pure luck, some drives doesn't work at all and some does.

As said you need to have 4gb or smaller boot partitio and after you have installed a OS, you need to patch scsi.device and fastFileSystem or use another filesystem.

As far as I know this is only scsi.device for standard A1200 ide wich works with any size hard drives.

I have selfmade 1mb kickstart rom with that scsi.device and all possible filesystems.

This 400gb hard drive didn't work at all with 3.1 kickastart

My boot partition is 28gb I don't have any reason to softkick my amiga to previous kickstart. How ever BB1/BB2 scsi.device works, I forget to rename romupdates / add skipromupdates in first boot.

Here, all limits wich are from filesystem  and scsi.device.

There shouldn't be any way use or see over 128gb limit with original or bb1/bb2 scsi.device
