Need a little help with a 3000 and bluescsi

[kolla]

you have to partition the SD card as a FAT32 or ExFat then create a blank or blanks .hdf disk Image(s) in WinUAE.
Then rename hdf to hda.

Why must one use WinUAE? Doesn't (for example) this work?

Code: [Select]

fsutil file createNew "mydisk.hda" (2GB)

[kolla]

Well, none of them explain anything on the matter.

I just find it weird that WinUAE would be required to just make a file, bluescsi isn’t an amiga-only device and surely people who use it with other platforms don’t have to use WinUAE to create their disk files.


EDIT: the manual suggests that I’m correct, it shows using dd which does the same as what I suggested above.
