       Hello Patrik!              18 Aug 17 02:43, you wrote to me:               IJ>> No, they don't show up in Boot Menu.        PA> What happens if you run HDToolBox on scsi.device with the WarpEngine        PA> connected?              Hmmm, it's been already some days when I tested this, but I think it didn't       even boot when there is a drive connected to the internal SCSI bus and the       WarpEngine installed. So I couldn't start HDToolBox at all to investigate.               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        IJ>> in general.        PA> The following entry can be found in DEVS:NDSPatch.cfg in OS3.9: #        PA> WarpEngine DEVICE warpdrive.device DEVICETYPE NSDEVTYPE_TRACKDISK        PA> COMMANDS 1-15,20-23,28 VERSION 40 REVISION 66              I've now ordered AmigaOS 3.9 from Vesalia. So, maybe by the end of next       weekend I'm hopefully running OS3.9 on a large HDD! ;-)               IJ>> However, it seems as if I don't need just pfs-aoi, but also some        IJ>> other parts of pfs. Hints are welcome! ;-)               PA> Actually, all you really need to use it is the pfs3_aio-handler file        PA> in the archive, which is the filesystem handler you normally add to        PA> the RDB of the drive with id "PFS3" or in hex as in HDToolBox as        PA> 0x50465303.        PA> There is however an archive of what I think is how the last commercial        PA> release looked which contains documentation and the tools (which are        PA> not strictly needed to use it):        PA> http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/PFS3_53               PA> Note that the main difference between the last commercial release and        PA> pfs-aio is that there is only one version of the handler and that it        PA> automatically detects wether to use NSD, TD64 or DirectSCSI for access        PA> beyond 4GB and will refuse to mount such partitions if it fails to        PA> access both the beginning and end of them correctly.              So far I haven't figured out how to install PFS and make use of it. Of course       I added it to RDB, but it lists as FFS or as Custom Filesystem.       But well, let's wait for OS3.9 install CD to arrive... :-)              Ingo                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5--b20170303        * Origin: AmigaXess - back in FidoNet after 17 years (2:2452/413)    |
