Yet Another HDD thread

sorry to start this again.
is there a way to overcome the 128Gb limit on builtin IDE?

Yes, you need OS 3.9, Boingbag 2 and the fix for the LBA48 implementation.

excellent, thanks Thomas.

it seems I'm stuck, trying to find 'extractmodule'.
LoadModule.lha from aminet is missing it, and the one in ShellUpdate.lha complains 'object too large' ?

edit:
I think I've managed to extract the module (using 'ExtractModule MODULE 5 ...' instead), but now spatch complains 'incorrect version of original file'

edit2:
seems I haven't installed BB2 properly, oh well.

You should use romupdatesplit from the BlizKick package. Then you don't need to count module numbers but get the modules by name and Amiga model.

Even if you selected not to install the ROM update with BB2, you got it copied to Devs: anyway. Just select the right file to split, the biggest one. IIRC it's called Amiga OS ROM Update-BB2 or something like that.

thanks Thomas, it worked.

edit:
btw, is it possible to increase the block size in PFS3 ?
