What version of scsi.device are you using?  I'm using a 128 GB IDE SSD (Super Talent) on my A4000T and it sees the full capacity.   I am using scsi.device 43.45 though which helps with larger drives.

scsi.device 43.45


Eh...let me correct myself...I've done too many system changes..

I was using a 256 GB SATA SSD with an IDE adapter and IDEFix97 as I had 3 IDE devices (CF-Card, DVD-RW and SSD drive) on the 4-way adapter.

The Super Talent IDE 128 GB SSD drive wouldn't let my A4000D (or T) boot when connected.   I have a WarpEngine and purchased a ACard IDE>SCSI adapter and added the 128 GB IDE SSD drive using that to the WarpEngine (the SATA SSD came out as well as the 4-way adapter and IDEFix97, then I updated the scsi.device).

Sorry I had made more changes that I remembered and forgot that the 128 GB IDE was never on the A4000D/T's IDE controller.

The 256 GB SSD (sata) did work as a 128 GB drive (IDEFix97 size limit) on the A4000's IDE port though (with IDE>SATA adatper)....but that was scsi.device version 119 or something like that (IDEFix97).

Have you tried configuring the drive under WinUAE on a fully updated/patched OS 3.9 setup?

Version reports HDToolBox 45.6 (2/13/2002) that I had used.  

Maybe install the drive under that and see if they show up correctly.

I also am using PFS_AIO instead of FFS.

I did my drive setups that way, then used a "fresh" WinUAE config to install the OS's (3.1/3.9).

I had a updated and patched WinUAE build of OS 3.9, and just added the drives via an external USB cable with SATA and IDE connections + power.

Nice.  And the work begins.


Your photo looks like SCSI.device is 43.35 and not the latest patched 43.45
