Real A1200 ignores sfs/pfs3 formatted CF

[nicholas]

there's a patch for HDToolbox at aminet to partition removable disks. Add PFS3aio to your RDB, remember to add the right ID (0x50445303 iirc), it should be the same you used in the partitions. I would skip SFS now that PFS3aio exists. Use 0x1fe00 as max transfer. Remember to keep your system partitions completely inside the first 4GB. Make various partitions, don't use a single partition or you'll get in trouble (I would make 3: one for WB (100MB), one for emergency boot (100MB) and the third one taking up the rest for your stuff).

Use this tool to format your partitions too.

What do you put in your emergency partition?

I have a small FFS partition with a plain WB3.1 on it for "emergency purposes".
