If you want to travel secure seas, use the TD64 patch


Where did you get this from ? I never heard of such.

There is a td64patch for OS 4.0, but it only works on top of NSD, not instead of it.


Note that neither NSDPatch nor "TD64 patch" (if it is similar to NSDPatch) give you access to the full 20 GB. You only gain another 3.8 GB giving you access to the first 7.8 GB of the drive.

You need a real replacement for scsi.device which uses LBA addressing on the hardware side and offers 64 bit commands on the file system side. IDEfix97 is one possibility, scsi.device V43 or OS3.5+ another.

In addition to that you *also* need a file system which supports 64 bit commands. SFS, PFS and FFS V43+ are possible file systems. Note that PFS only supports TD64 while FFS only supports NSD. SFS supports both.
