"SectorsPerTrack" is not a valid keyword????

Hi folks,

hit an interesting problem when trying to mount RAD on a Expanded A4000 with 3.1 roms and running WB3.5.

Using CLI to mount RAD: resulted in the above (i.e. the title of this thread) in file:-
sys;storage/dosdrivers/rad line 17, column 1

So I decided to try to mount PC0: and rxd a similar error message in file:-
devs:dosdrivers/pc0 line 16, column1

I then checked out the same "mounts" on a expanded A1200 with 3.1 roms and running WB3.1 where everything worked out OK, i.e. PC0: and RAD: mounted correctly.

I also have another expanded A4000 with 3.0 roms running WB3.0 into which I have just replaced the df0: floppy drive
(from Amigakit UK) and seem unable to format any HD (2MB) floppy disks, I can format the same floppies on the A1200 and the A4000 (3.0rom/3.0wb) can then read and write to them ok.

Questions
1. What is causing the invalid keyword error message when trying to mount RAD and PC0 and is there a work around?

2. Why can't I format HD floppies on the A4000 (3.0rom/3.0wb)?

many thanks Ian

Check the version of the Mount command. Should be 40 (= WB 3.1) or 44 (= OS 3.9).

Hi Thomas,
