what do i need for amiga to detect bigger hd

[mechy]

So this brings up some questions.  How much faster is the FastATA 4000?  Looks like the MK-V should be in stock at Amigakit within 8 more days.  But is it really worth 166 bucks?

I think my A4000 could load a bit faster (right now it takes about 1minute 30 seconds before it's fully loaded up WB, and I have ClassicWB on it, with my mediator, radeon, and network card.  As well as an Indivision AGA).

Either that, or does a CF card adapter speed it up a whole lot?  I don't have a deneb yet, but was considering it.  I still have (hopefully) a second A4000 on the way, if DiscreetFX could get my address correct (some of which is probably my fault, but it should be sent to my parent's house...) So I'm wondering if I should set aside some cash for at least one of the FastATA 4000 MK-V, or CF card adapters, or what.  Decisions, decisions...

If your looking for max speed with low cpu overhead forget the elbox stuff. SCSI off the accelerator is best because its local bus and avoids zorro3 bottlenecks. the accelerators with ultrawide scsi  are very fast(cyberstorm MK3 or PPC- 25MB/s+) but the cyberstorm MKII and warpengine narrow scsi is good too.Just all depends what you are doing.

hello

What hardware do i need for my amiga 4000 to run bigger hard drives over 4g?.  Also what graphics card is best out of picasso 2 or retina z3?.

As the others said, retina z3 would definately be faster. (just make sure your 4000 has buster 11 . i think the retina requires it).

os3.9 would probabaly be the easiest way to get the newer scsi device with 64bit support for large drives.
I would say use SFS over FFS also.
