   Hi Ingo,   
      
    IJ> No, they don't show up in Boot Menu.   
      
   What happens if you run HDToolBox on scsi.device with the WarpEngine connected?   
      
    IJ> Sure, but the NSD docs don't list warpdrive.device as supported   
    IJ> device nor found I an evidence that it is supporting large disks in

   The following entry can be found in DEVS:NDSPatch.cfg in OS3.9: # WarpEngine    
   DEVICE warpdrive.device DEVICETYPE NSDEVTYPE_TRACKDISK  COMMANDS 1-15,20-23,28   
   VERSION 40 REVISION 66

   Actually, all you really need to use it is the pfs3_aio-handler file in the   
   archive, which is the filesystem handler you normally add to the RDB of the   
   drive with id "PFS3" or in hex as in HDToolBox as 0x50465303.   
      
   There is however an archive of what I think is how the last commercial release   
   looked which contains documentation and the tools (which are not strictly   
   needed to use it):   
   http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/PFS3_53   
      
   Note that the main difference between the last commercial release and pfs-aio   
   is that there is only one version of the handler and that it automatically   
   detects wether to use NSD, TD64 or DirectSCSI for access beyond 4GB and will   
   refuse to mount such partitions if it fails to access both the beginning and   
   end of them correctly.   
      
   Regards,   
   Patrik
