Did you guys try the Genesis packet fix?

This packet fix has nothing to do with freezes.

Speaking of using SFS (or even PSF3, which I own a registered copy of), is the most common, easiest way of converting to those file systems to install them first of course, but then on a hard drive with several partitions, would it be best to just copy the contents of one partition to free space on an another partition, use HDToolBox to change the file system of the partition you copied FROM to SFS (or PSF), close HDToolBox which will probably tell you that you must reboot for the changes to take effect, reboot, format the changed partition (if required, which I would think it would be), then copy all the contents of that partition back to where they came from?

This would not work on the System partition as you would need an additional step of making the other partition that you copied it's content TO to be a bootable partition as HDToolBox would have wiped out your System partition when the File Type was changed from FFS to SFS (or PSF).

Did I miss anything, or am I way off base and there is a easier/better way to convert from an existing FFS partition to SFS, or PSF partitions?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I'm using SFS and still experiment the freezes. Don't get me wrong, going to SFS is a good idea anyway, I just don't think that will fix the problem (at least it didn't for me).

About buffers... I don't remember how many do I have, I'll need to check tonight.

Hi. Ive done some testing. Its definately caused by Genesis. When not loaded, lha extraction is fast and responsive. when Genesis is online, lha extraction causes system freeze every few seconds.
