Kikstart & A600
« on: January 12, 2005, 10:57:32 PM »
Can someone else confirm what is the best stable version of Kikstart 2.05 that supports 4GB Drives or HD Support?  is it version v37.300  or higher?

And i'm not talking about kikstart 3.1!

The latest ROM before 3.x was the 37.300 .

You shouldn't have problems with HDs, and if you really need/want a big HD, try alternative filing systems (PFS or SFS, which can handle easyly big partitions/HDs).

Else you can softkick 3.1, install 3.5 or 3.9 and use the NSDpatch that comes with the OS.

IIRC, v37.350 was the last version of Kickstart 2.05.  

I have a 2GB HD in my v37.300 and it works fine (prepped with HDToolbox from Workbench 2.1).  I've never tried a 4GB so I can't comment, but some people even have trouble with even smaller HDs on the v37.300.  

Edit: Piru got to it first.  The link mentions problems running drives larger than 40MB on v37.300.

I had v37.300 in my A600 and couldnt get a 420MB drive to work. No problems with 3.1  :-)

My first Harddrive was a 60mb connor.  Cursed my 600 for along time because it couldnt use it .  My A600 from a Wild, Weird & wicked pack came with kick 37.299 which has no knowledge of the inbuilt ide.  at the time my solution was to softkick 3.0 and set up the drive, and then rip the scsi.device to disk.  This disk together with mountlists for the partitions allowed me to boot the os from hd and also keep me 2mb mem.  softkicking didnt leave me with much.  37.350 was the version to get to fix ide issues and/or kick 3.1.  Ive moved on from a600 long ago so never took this route ;)
