SCSI2SDv5.0a issue getting 2nd partition parameters

[klx300r]

hi guys, I really should be working on a big work deadline but dammit I decided to get my SCSI2SD-v5.0a board working in my A4000:idea:

so set it up fine with the latest firmware update and setup 2 4GB partitions in the utility program, saved and all fine. My A4000 and CS-MKIII finds both new partitions (using FFS) BUT I can only setup and partition the first 4GB.  The 2nd 4GB partition is seen but it's parameters are blank? tried messing with the lowest cylinder and highest cylinder numbers and kept other parameters the same but was getting all kinds of conflict errors.

Basically is there a way to just setup the 2nd partition automatically based on the 1st partition on the SD card? did I forget to click on something as I'm assuming this is all from the SCSI2SD utility setup side & nothing to do with AmigaOS?

ya I think I'll just format the whole 8GB SD card as one partition as I've got OS3.9 with all the updates and I've already got a 'real' scsi drive plus and IDE CD too so this is just more storage.

So whats the best file system for these scsi2sd boards ??

guys this isn't my boot drive so no worries;) got her working great as one 8GB drive now using HDToolbox with my cybppc.device and right now just backing up some files and it seems quite quick but will check the speed once it's done copying

How did you go with the speed tests ?....

from SysSpeed:

CreateFile 1.87 Mb/s
WriteFile   1.77
ReadFile    2.00
RawRead     2.12

nothing compared to my 'real' scsi drives connected to my onboard CS-MKIII UW-scsi but I'm quite happy with the speed/ no noise/ no crazy heat aspect of this scsi2sd card ;-)
btw, nice blog
