LoadModule is available on Aminet:  http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/LoadModule

If you want the latest version of scsi.device you can also get it off the "OS 4.1 for classics" setup floppy disk.  Version 52.something-or-other is also compatible with 3.9.

Obviously if you intend to swap this card back & forth between your A1200 & A4000 you'll need to prep it accordingly to load the correct version depending on which machine it's in.

Good luck!  :)

It's Workbench 3.1 and SCALOS setup on top of it.

I'm not familiar with what SCALOS does or does not do, but 3.1 natively does not include support for hard drives greater than 4GB.  You'll have to install one of the various patches / patch methods to support hd's greater than 4GB if you intend to stick with 3.1.

If this problem is really in scsi.device file, so why don't I see separate files for 4000 available anywhere?

Lots of info out here, but here's a good thread that might help you:  http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=32256

Actually it's beyound me, why nobody with 4000 ever encoutered this same problem and had it solved...

1000's of folks out there are using cards larger than 4GB in their A4000's.  If the only difference is the adapter, maybe try a different adapter?
