How to prepare 40Gb Drive for A600

If your turbo board is an ACA630 you would be better off putting the updated scsi.device inside a custom Rom and using the ACA's Maprom facility

[fitzsteve]

Or use IdeFix

Since Maprom on the ACA cards adds so much performance it's really a no brainer to put update modules inside, I don't see how using IDEfix would be better?  Unless the OP has a 4way IDE device and is using CD/etc.

@XDelusion,

There are some guides around for building your own custom Roms, using the maprom fuction it's self is dead easy, it's just a case of adding the following declaration to the first line of your startup sequence:

c:acatune -maprom devs:ks31.rom >NIL:

This assumes ACATune is installed in sys:c/ and your Rom image (called ks31.rom) is in sys:devs/

See mfilos' guide here at Amibay about making custom Roms:

You're welcome, it's a fair amount to get your head round so set yourself a few hours aside.

It's totally worth it though, especially if you run OS3.9 as you wont need the soft reboot if you put the boing bag modules in the Kickstart
