Hello!!!
I have an SCSI-II 74 Gb Seagate HDD ready to be set up on my Amiga. It's now plugged and has SCSI ID = 3
SCSIConfig detects that the HDD is bigger that 4Gb, says that I need TD64>= 44.4 FFS patch and asks me whether I want to limit the HDD size to 4 Gb. I answer no. As far as I see, I can perform a low level format I haven't done, though.
On the other hand, I've installed PFS3 5.3 but HDInstTools says 'No devices found' once and again. Please, is PFS3 working on my system?
PFS3 should govern SCSI data movement over Workbench, I think, but what I have now is that Workbench recognizes the HDD in a limited way and PFS3 doesn't even that.
Thank you.
You never need to low level any HD. dont confuse this with a regular workbench format. Modern drives dont need low leveling.
I also dont recommend you use HDinsttools, it does weird things to the RDB and is not exactly compatible if memory serves me right.
Use Hdtoolbox(or the one with os3.9) (os3.9 has patches for big drives). You need to go into the icon info and edit it for the scsi.device you are using so it finds the drive. You dont mention what hardware you are using,so a bit hard to help.
In any case, keep the first partition small, say 1GB or so and you can make the others bigger. pfs3 direct scsi should do for you.
