So it's probably best to copy the IDE file over to the SD card anyway to make use of the speed increase under that environment! See this for more info:

Exactly what I did. After spending 6 hours, trying to work out why it wasnt working. Turned out actually reading the instrutions (in config.txt) was wrong.

so can I still access my onboard IDE drive in my 1200 and also the microSD card when PiStorm-lite is installed with either AmigaOS3.2.1 or Caffeine OS ?

I don't have a PiStorm32 yet but I've done a lot of research. My understanding is that Emu68 will see both the SD card AND the IDE drive (max 1.6MB/s on each) whereas Caffeine will ONLY see the SD card drive as it works with Type 76 HD partitions (whatever they are). The SD card under Caffeine will act as a 21MB/s HD device (compared to 1.6MB/s max on IDE) so it's probably best to copy the IDE file over to the SD card anyway to make use of the speed increase under that environment!

But I'm still trying to find out if Amiga emulators will read external Amiga-formatted drives.    Anyone with a clue on that conundrum?

Hi there. I know that WinUAE can mount and use Amiga formatted media, even if the host operating system can't. I've done it with SD cards and others have done it with CF cards...so I'm making an assumption that it will also be possible with your Syquest disk too.

I've got a Powermac G4 MDD running both MorphOS (an Amiga-like Operating system) and MacOS Tiger. I've not had any success with Amiga emulation under old versions of MacOS, but I have just checked and I am able to read an SD Card formatted with an Amiga file system (PFS3) under MorphOS. You can find out more about MorphOS here: https://www.morphos-team.net. The download is free and without registering it you can use it for 30 minutes at a time.

Since today you can read the Amiga Future issue 136 online on our webpage.
