Drives in HDToolBox not detected full size (CHS settings?)

For what it's worth, and for those using OS 4 on any of their machines, the boot floppy has a version of scsi.device that is >52. I use this on all my classic machines.

Version >NIL: scsi.device 52
If Warn
  LoadResident DEVS:A1200/scsi.device reboot quiet
EndIf

Suddenly, the second channel on the internal IDE adapter and other nice little benefits are usable on the system.

Thomas is right. The scsi.device seems function both better as well as provide functionality such as exposing the secondary IDE device on a chained cable but it will not patch tools with rendering and math bugs like HDToolbox.

The scsi.device v52 seems to sort out a lot of the wonkiness I needed other tools for and it is loaded resident. So imho it's a win-win. Your mileage may vary but so far it has treated me well

scsi.device from 4.1 works with 3.9?

Yes it even works with 3.1. The one from the boot floppy. Additionally the atapimajik file from devs: and the cdmounter util from c: on the same floppy will easily mount any attached ide CD-ROM. Merry Christmas. Two files for easy and fairly complete cd-rom drivers is also pretty damn awesome.

Always check the c,l,s,devs,libs and fonts directory of every bootable. Tons of treasures to be found.

The correct CHS numbers helped, but not totally.  No matter what I have tried, OS3.9 will not correctly install on this KingSpec 64GB SSD.  I am going to try the 128GB but I have no reason to be confident of success over the 64GB.

I created a 1GB partition at the beginning of the drive with no other partitions.  Formatted this QUICK with FFS 45.9.  The installation of 3.1 completed with no apparent problems, but 3.9 installation missed icons, libraries, and probably more without any errors during the installation.  I tried performing an installation of 3.9 from the 3.9 emergency-boot but I get the can't get Workbench information error.

Make sure you have the right max transfer speeds setup. I was getting random write errors and crashes on my A1200 without it. I think it's 0x01fe00 but double check that elsewhere first.
