Real A1200 ignores sfs/pfs3 formatted CF

[Crumb]

there's a patch for HDToolbox at aminet to partition removable disks. Add PFS3aio to your RDB, remember to add the right ID (0x50445303 iirc), it should be the same you used in the partitions. I would skip SFS now that PFS3aio exists. Use 0x1fe00 as max transfer. Remember to keep your system partitions completely inside the first 4GB. Make various partitions, don't use a single partition or you'll get in trouble (I would make 3: one for WB (100MB), one for emergency boot (100MB) and the third one taking up the rest for your stuff).

YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!  :banana:

Oh man, you don't even know how many times I've entered those bloody hex numbers...

Thanks Crumb!



My setup is now 200MB for ClassicWB and the rest of the 8gb CF for games/demos/images and such (at first I didn't read that part of your post, that's how fast I went to look for HDToolBox_CF). What do you put in your emergency partition?

I usually keep a stable copy of my system with DiskSalv, RDBrecover, and now that I use PFS3 I guess I should add PFS3 recovery tools (included in the main PFS3 archive). For paranoid purposes it could be handy to store your rdb on some bootable floppy disk, just in case your RDB gets wiped or overwritten by some evil software :-)

If you are using original scsi.device I guess you could access up to ~8GB with scsi direct mode, PFS3_aio will take care of that. You won't even need to load an updated scsi.device... nice :-)
