Oktagon Issue

[Azryl]

Hello. Use this tool for the Oktagon 2008 IDE controller and Tandem IDE controller ( tandem is non-autoboot tho )

http://www.aminet.net/package.php?package=disk/misc/hdinst.lha

Its the latest version 6.9 ( set the language option to English from pull down menu )

It is the software that should have come with your harddrive controller card.

I'm not sure which rom revision you have on your IDE controller, this will determine what hard drive capacity you can identify and use with AmigaOS. I beleive Oktagon rom revisions lower than 6.6 will max out at drive capacity of 2.1gig

Yes, the HDinstTools software is for Oktagon primarily, but also works on just about any "driver.device" selectable scsi/ide controller.

scsi.device
atapi.device
tandem.device etc

Doesn't work with GVP drives!
They have their own proprietory FaaastROM drivers and onboard roms.
