A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.

naa, it works fine, i'm just annoyed with the resident / non resident / interupts / non interput / driver splitting the drive into 15 4Gb logical drives, but listing the drive running in non-split mode?!? then there is hdtoolbox crashing unless i use hdtoolbox off the 3.1 install disk, and after one or two reboots, it ignores the disk completely and won't boot! can do boot-no-startup which works off the drive, tweek the 3.9 install to ignore the scsi.device update, still won't boot. but then no chance of booting off it without a full re-install. OS3.5 seems stable at the moment, but thats because i havn't installed the FastATA drivers... i don't have much time in the evenings, but what time i do have, i don't want to devote to going through NSDpatch.cfg one more time, or seeing what is conflicting in my startup-sequence.

what made me laugh is the automatic installation puts in completely the wrong lines in your startup sequence, and the manual installation guide in the manual has the wrong lines too!

like, why would you put a "stack 8192" at the bottom end of your driver startup lines?

i don't get it. so i'm doing without my CD/DVD at the mo, and it is a little annoying, but if anyone can show me the light it would make me most happy :)
