Disabling DF0 in A4000D
« on: December 12, 2004, 12:22:18 AM »
I have installed a Budda/Catweasel combo card in my A4000D and attached two HD IBM floppy drives and all works as advertised. (as far as the Catweasel is concerned.) So I see no need for the Amiga DF0 drive at this time since I can only fit two drives in this case. The only problem is when I disconnect DF0, WB won't release the hour glass in seeking DF0. Before I partitioned my drive into smaller sizes to acoomodate loading the Budda software, I was somehow able to release this seek for the DF0 by WB simply placing a "DF0?" on the WB screen when the drive was unattached. But since I reinstalled WB3.1 the WB does not like DF0 missing. Does anyone know of a way to disable this seek hold so I can use my two IBM drives only? Thanks.

Have you tried "Assign DF0: DISMOUNT" in your User-Startup? This eliminates DF0 from your system and should save from trouble.


I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip!

@PaSha

Thanks for the info. The string in user-startup did not work. I prefer hardware solutions like this.
