I would If i can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but right now having probs just get 40GB to work fully all the time with my A1200, may have to end up playing with the cylinders or maybe have about 9 <4GB drives.....
which reminds me (off topic) but when i do build my A4000 if have a GVP 4060 with scsi and a FASTATA IV (zorro III) which would be better to use? Also have indivision and Deneb for that A4000

Me too... :)

Two 2TB HDs should be enough to last me till my sell buy date... :)

(PM sent about your HD probs... :))

I'd be happy to help if I can but don't have a clue what NetBSD is... :(

NetBSD is a free Unix operating system from Berkeley (the school). It's based off of 4.4BSD and its lineage goes back to the beginning of Unix in the 1970s:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bsd

I think RadosÅaw just needs some pointers about general setup of the FastATA and about interrupt handling versus polling, et cetera. Please take a look at the link and if you have some ideas, just shoot an email off to port-amiga@netbsd.org.

Thanks!

Hey Franko

Just so you know its rather distasteful to make posts like "money is no object to me" quite distasteful.

You have to manually enter meaningful cylinders, sectors per track, tracks per cylinder, and sectors per cylinder numbers into HDToolBox yourself most of the time.


Can you give me some quick tips on that? I have a 50 gig SCSI drive in my A2000 and a 20 gig IDE drive in my A1200.

Don't talk keech pal... I never claimed to have any taste in the first place so if it's distasteful to you then that's tough luck mate you'r the one who mentioned my name and brought it up with your other snidey little remarks...

And I suppose your nasty little que jumping and me, me, me posts in the "Amiga 1200 collection for grabs" thread are not distasteful...

I'm in los angeles and would like yo buy all of
your amiga stuff for cash :) please respond with pm or call me
if you can.

Quote
No problem.. but like I said if you want to sell all in one go for cash no shipping i'm the guy :)

Quote
Uh.. excuse me but why would anyone want to box and ship this stuff to australia? are you mad i'm local?

Anyway crawl back under your rock mate before I drop me wallet on you which is stuffed full of more cash than you could ever dream of and flatten you with it... :lol:

Ooops... sorry... was that me being distasteful again

I worked damn hard for every penny and everything I own, so if me having loadsa money bothers you then follow my example... work hard and earn it...

Now stop bugging my happiness and go and play in the traffic... :)

Well you just proved you have absolutely no taste at all and now i"m sure you are full of sh8t and dont have what you say. Its quite obvious. I'm also taking it that you are very young and inexperienced in the real world.  There are so many posers and talkers like you in the amiga community its funny. Luckily there are really cool,interesting and talented people as well.

As far as your programming goes i'd love to see any proof of anything.. You of course wont produce that becuase you are a tosser and full of crap.

Gawd tenacious little bugger aren't you... :)

Look on Aminet mate or my own site and see for yourself, the only one round here telling porky pies is you mate and you'r doing it to yourself... :)

PS: anything else you demand I should prove to you, a picture of my 8 inch dick for example (course I could have lied and said it was 10 but I'm not in the habit of telling lies)... :rolleyes:

Look he's the one who started all this and then decided to stretch it into another thread, no idea what his problem is but I'm not going to let him say what he wants about me and not respond to his lies and accusations... sorry...

@Franko, If you have started a suitable driver. Maybe you could publish what you have so that others may continue upon it?

I think I already said that I never got round to finishing it, the reason was in the end it was much easier to disassemble the Elbox FastATA driver and fix a couple of thing in it and re-assemble it for my own personal use.

The problem with the FastATA driver though is it only works with the A1200s FastATA hardware from Elbox, they even do a different one for the A4000 version which I've never had a look at... :(

The one I began to write myself was being programmed around the 4xEIDE hardware so I have no idea if I were to go back and try to complete it if it would work with any of the other buffered interface boards... :)

Just out of curiosity is there anyone that you haven't pissed off with your attitude Magnetic?
While Franko does nowhere near need me to defend him i have looked at his code and can say he knows what he is talking about so before you open you mouth next time think please..
Also please stop claim jumping (i too can cross thread) makes you look like a get.....
Have a great day

It was the same thing with both Minimig and ArcadeReplay. It's "impossible" it's fake bla.bla.. instead of doing something oneself. Like looking at the number of transistors needed and available etc..
