New Hard Drive '4K' standard. How will it affect Amiga?
« on: March 10, 2010, 09:30:20 PM »
All hard drive manufacturers are going to start shiping their hard drives with 4K sectors, and not 512b sectors.

Does anyone know if Amiga OS (classic and 4.x) will be able to handle this at all, and if not natively, can the OS be patched?
