If I recall, for 1200NG, you need a non-RDB HDF?
Not really played around with HDF as yet.

I just tried it with an HDF without RDB – that works, the hard drive shows up and can be formatted. But what doesn’t work now, or at least I don’t know how it’s supposed to work without HDToolbox, is how to format it with PFS3. That only seems to work with RDB HDFs.
Right now the whole situation feels half-baked – proper RDB support like in WinUAE, Amiberry, or FS-UAE is really needed. Still, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me with my issue.

It is using Amiberry. If your using non RDB, its not a big issue, just means you are using uaehf.device.
Whats it formatting as at present?

Have you tried setting up custom system. Apparently your able to select full RDB there.
I have not tried this myself. Maybe someone else can confirm?
