A1200 onboard IDE
« on: November 21, 2003, 10:14:12 AM »
has anyone had a disk attached to the onboard IDE on an A1200 that has a partition space bigger than 36Gb?

i'm looking to get a new 2.5" drive but it seems that the best value/capacity is around the 40Gb mark. not that having this much space is a problem, just wondering if the 36Gb limit was a "feature" of FFS and if i needed to play with other filesystems?

i just remeber plugging a 100Gb drive into my A4000 *sigh* and HDtoolbox saw it properly, but wouldn't let me configure a partition size greater than 36Gb.

i dunno. :-? any advice greatly appriciated  :-D

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
