Title: ClickToFront SFS/PFS3
Post by: Kronos on April 13, 2004, 11:33:31 PM

Atm I'm reinstalling my old A4000, and came to an odd problem, ClickToFront outright refuses to work. It is listed as active in Exchange, and I allready updated CGX4, and installed both 3.9 BBs.

No avail ....

And that at 640x480  :-x (only the trusty old Nec3D on a CV64).

And on a related matter:
I'm currently installing it all on an IDE-disk, since the SCSI got corrupted and I need to get some files from it before I try to fix it. Once thats happened, I will use it instead of the IDE. Now, I don't want to use FFS anymore, and I'm gonna wipe the whole disk anyway.

I do have a regged copy of PFS3 (came with the A4000, never tried it), and I do know SFS from the Peg (but not wether it is free for 68k).

So what would be the better solution ? What are the differences in security/performance between these 2 ?

SFS is free. Latest version is 1.214.

Kronos,

I can't compare since I've never used SFS. But PFS3 was wonderful when I still had my 4000. The general speedup on the system was really nice. I'm still hoping it will be updated once OS4 is selling.

@Kronos
Stick with SFS If you know that better. Yes it is free and on the Aminet

also remember

C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

I have had both on a hard drive and used both for many years. I have had better luck with SFS with it working with more drives.

@paul

SFS and a new FFS are built into 4.0
