My flyer drives are as follows:
Video A drives ~ FA0 FA1 FA2 of 8, 18, 18 gig
Video B drives ~ FB0 FB1 FB2 of 9, 9, 18 gig
Audio drive ~ FC1 of 9 gig - FC0 went bad and removed, eventually to be replaced.
CDrom on FC6 - eventually to be replaced with a CD or DVD writer for flyer clip and project back up.

Best bet would be to get larger HDs and have just one on each chain.  Even better, CF cards would fit nicely inside the A4000D chassis eliminating the need for a Flyer tower and that damn octopus cable.
it's only money...

Any info on these questions would be useful:
1- How does one get rid of the ghosted amiga dos icons for the flyer drives that show on the workbench?
2- Where are the default desktop Flyer icons located? Would like to substitute default icons with smaller ones to possibly save on chip ram use.
3- How to snapshot the desktop Flyer icons to help keep the desktop neat if thats possible?

Thanks

@T3000,

I see that you have some 18gig drives in use on your A & B Flyer SCSI controllers.  I have been trying to upgrade my old noisy 9gig drives to 18, 36 and 73 gig drives, but have had trouble getting them working.  I have tried several different brands of drives and terminators without luck.

What 18gig drives are you using and how do you have them converted to 50pin SCSI of the Flyer board (since I am assuming that not many, if any 18gig drives were made with 50pin SCSI connections).  All my large SCSI drives are either 68pin, or 80pin.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
