Goodmorning to all of you :)
I've bought a 2,5inch hard disk (Seagate/40GB/4200rpm) and i would like to install it to my a1200.
Which operating system i must choose , in order not having issues partitioning the drive...
And which Filesystem is better (perfomance/file handling) because i want to store a lot of dms images in it.
I have workbench 3.1 :roll: and OS 3.5 , can i use on of them?
-
only os3.5 or higher supports partitions > 2 gb (or was it 4 gb), but be warned, you'll need a lot of ram for validating the partition (>20mb for 4 gb). better skip validation on a standard a1200.
-
I have a total ammount of 10mb ram (2chip/8fast) on a blizzard-iv 1230 card. So i cant use the drive?
-
you can use it. if i remember correctly, you can skip the bad block detection, aka validation, and directly format the partitions.
-
Or you just add a 32 or 64 or 128 Mb Ram module to your Blizzard 1230/4 (http://users.pandora.be/DiscoVmax/Amiga/Blizzard1230-4_B_BIG.jpg) :lol:
