A600 Harddisk Size
« on: December 14, 2007, 12:51:06 PM »
Folks - I've got various 'old' HD's knocking about that could be put to good use in my A600 & A1200 Amigas.

Regarding the A600 - what is the largest HD partition supported the 2.05 rom?

Also, what is the largest boot partition supported?

I believe there's at least a couple of revisions which support different sizes.  I can't remember off hand what revision mine is except that the A600 originally shipped with a 30Mb jobby partitioned 10Mb/20Mb system/data respectively.

I've successfully formatted and partitioned a 180Mb(ish) drive using HDTools and install WB 2.1 - but the A600 refuses to boot.  Initially I thought it was the HD not spinning up quickly enough, but it doesn't boot into WB with a soft reset either.   :-?

A .300 version sounds frighteningly familiar.

I'll try out a few tests with smaller partitions.

Thanks for the rapid responses guys.
