Set maxtransfer to 0x1fe00. There's no need to know the details behind this, just take it as yet another dogma to swallow. :-)
Oh yeah, and it's not a rate, it's a size.
You dont want it to parse 0x1FE00000, so i would try to make it specify 0x0001FE00 for Maxtransfer.
So ordered a compact flash card and adapter from amigakit. Anything in particular to be aware of when setting this up ?
I will be getting an accelerator card later on. I've heard some people say that you are best off formatting and setting up your hard drive with all expansions connected properly or you may get system crashes.
Anything to that or hogwash ?
The only thing I am aware of, is if the specific hardware needs libraries to operate, like 040 or 060 boards, you need them installed or your workbench will crash while loading..., like my A4000, which requires the 68060.library files installed because it has a Cyberstorm 060 MK-II
