Reading SFS2/OS4.1/Sam hard drive on eMac using MorphOS?
« on: May 05, 2017, 12:49:37 AM »
I don't have my SAM anymore but the hard drive from it is connected via a SATA to USB convertor to my eMac running MorphOS 3.4 (?) demo version. I can see the partitions using mounter but can't actually "read or mount" them properly. Basically my conclusion is there is no SFS/2 driver there or option to choose one.

I have had a small tinker trying to download SFS drivers etc but no success.

So, my question is, what software do I need? SFS driver Version? How do I actually do it? Etc.

Thanks.

@Astral

that seems to be the situation, at least in my experience. i can mount my drives from AOS4 in MOS if they're formatted as FFS or SFS/0, but nothing else really works well.  the reverse also works, too. so for partitions you need to share between OS installations, stick with those two filesystems.

Thanks for the hint. "Too late" now given where I am, so hopefully there's a solution.

If not, I'm sure, worst case I can send the HD to someone to access etc :)

SFS/02 drive partitions can be read using an x86 machine and Winuae/AmigaOS 4.1 Classic combination.

Excellent. I'll try to gather the motivation to do it that way.
