PFS and 8Gb CF Cards

[Thomas]

Use PFS3ds (Direct-SCSI). The other version of PFS needs TD64 which is not part of OS 3.9. The SCSI version even works without OS 3.9 (up to 8 GB).

what is the max speed that I should set the card to?

You cannot change speed. Are you talking about MaxTransfer? That's not speed, it's size. Yes, it's the same size as FFS. It's not dependent on file system but on hardware.

Alright, I'll try the scsi version, and yes I was talking about the max speed setting, and you have answered that question.

Thankx!

IT IS NOT ABOUT SPEED!!

It's transfer size, not transfer speed!

and (in my case) is was loaded as Custom File System "CFS\00".

CFS stands for "stupid user didn't read the manual". HDToolbox always suggests CFS, because there is no way to retrieve the correct identifier from the load module. It's an input field, you should overtype it with the right value. Use PDS\3 a.k.a. 0x50445303 for PFS3ds.

What manual?!

The PFS3 manual (AmigaGuide).
