SFS problems

[Hyperspeed]

Does the Expansion/ directory have any real system use?

The devices like serial.device, ahi.device and clipboard.device all go in SYS:Devs/

scsi.device is in Kickstart and 1230scsi.device is on the Phase5 SCSI-IV kits ROM, isn't the GVP device on the hardware?

On SFS data is not necessarily lost (aborted disk operation is usually finished on reboot) and there are tools to recover data from SFS partitions.

i don't remember how it is defined in os 3.1 but in 3.9 in the .info file of hdtoolbox there is a tooltype to determine the scsi device that you want to search and another to display all of the devices that are available. if it is set correctly, after you run the hdtoolbox there is a prompt who asks you to choose the right device.

This might sound like a newbie question (at was back before 1991 when I last used an amiga [os/wb 1.3]. But how do I check the tooltype?

Select the icon, hold the right mouse button down then from the Workbench menu select Icons->Information.

To edit the tooltype(/s) just click on one and edit in the box below. Click save to complete.

Thanks. I have now got my gvp drive(s) being detected by hdtoolbox. Now just to find newer roms for the gvp... as it still thinks that my 4gig hd is only 244mb.
