A590 ROM+HD Size Question
« on: March 25, 2010, 09:48:51 PM »
my A590 currently has a 120Mb SCSI HD.

The roms are version 6.6

Am i right in believing that with ROMS 6.6 + you can use larger (1Gb?) HD's?

Did you have a look at Amiga-Hardware.com?

There are several versions of the ROMs for the A590, Version 6 ROMs only allow hard drives up to 512MB in capacity. Version 6.6 and 7.0 ROMs have been reported to work successfully with drive sizes up to 9GB but you will need at least OS3.5 to use drives over 4GB.
