You guys have me a bit paranoid. Or rather Thomas does.
I see this discussion is for OS 3.x users, and it appears that OS 3.9 users do not have to worry about Hard Drive size limitations. Assuming I am reading all correctly.
The reason I am curious is because I just received a new Kingston 8Gb CF in the mail, I'm using OS 3.9, and was able to set up the Partition tables in WinUAE, format on the A1200, and boot without issues. Shouldn't I be having problems being that it is a Kingston? Is there something I have to worry about down the road such as random data loss or some jazz?
