whats size limit on a hardrive
« on: June 23, 2006, 07:22:53 AM »
Hi whats the size limit of a hard drive for a Amiga 1200 which is running with scsi and using OS3.1 and workbench 3.0 roms.

from what i gather the is a limit to 4GB on OS3.5.

Basically i have a squirrel scsi systme which had a fireball quaumtum 540s hardrive (540 MB) which seems
to have problems. i have just brought a 2.1 GB pc seagate hardrive and wanted to know if i will come across problmes with such a bigger hardrive then before.

I dont really plan to upgrade to a newer amiga rom or OS yet. all i intend at the moment is to try to savage the old hardrive and get it put on to a new one. but i have been having problems using the scsi hd tools prog to part and format the 2.1 gb hardive. i am wondering if something is going wrong with the amiga or the squirrel cable as it doesnt allways reconise the hardrives or cd roms which are attached using the scsi mount prog.

any suggestions or experienced in this field would be greatful.
