Gotek and DF0:DOS error
Hi all,
I have a rather annoying problem with certain adf files - all of which are utilities - when attempting to access them via my Gotek. If I mount them using the Selector tool and then select the adf, the name of the adf doesn't appear, just DF0OS and then a symbol that I can't read. The odd thing is that all my games work, just not utilities such as Workbench etc... Has anybody seen this before? |

This disk is formated using FastFileSystem (FFS). FFS disks can only be read out of the box by AmigaDOS 2.0 and above. To read FFS disks on Kick 1.3 you need an extra mountlist entry for the drive.
The symbol you can't read is an inverted A (i.e. a blue A on white gound). Edit: this should work: Code:
FF0: Device = trackdisk.device FileSystem = l:FastFileSystem Unit = 0 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 11 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 79 Buffers = 30 GlobVec = -1 BufMemType = 3 Mount = 1 DosType = 0x444F5301 StackSize = 4000 # Last edited by thomas; 02 April 2024 at 19:15. |

Two questions. The first, if I use Kickstart 2.0, I won't have this problem?
Secondly, where do I enter the FF0 commands you have listed above? Thanks. |

Last time I tried to get this running, I had to use a WB2.x (I think it was from Install 2.1) FFS. Quote:

Thank you to both!
I have a Kickstart 2.04 ROM which I used and all is fine now. |
