GVP A4008 SCSI controller speed?

If you have a 100GB drive then the conventional wisdom says you should have your boot partition be less than 4GB like say 3.9GB or whatever.  And then you can have a 96GB WORK: partition.

That is assuming you are using an uptodate AmigaOS distro.

Thomas is the preeminent expert on these matters.  If he shows up then please listen to whatever he says.

Well, 3.9 would be ideal however it does not support the video toaster so I'm going to have to stick with 3.1
I use 3.9 for when I'm not using the Toaster and just want to play games.

These types of things are why you should always keep your boot partition contained entirely within the 4GB limit.

Because when switching things around or installing patches or something, something could go bonkers temporarily and you might lose access to your partitions that are above the 4GB barrier.

You would never want to temporarily lose access to your boot partition.  That would just suxxorize your day.

You can patch OS3.1 up to safely use all your 9GB drive no problem.  Having just fallen out of a timewarp, my head is all wobbly and I can't remember the procedure.  But there are various people out there who can give you detailed instructions.
