I'm stuck already (4GB CF HD)

[desiv]

Funny bit..
On my real Amiga in HDToolbox, the drive name shows as "Epson" something or other.
That's my printer with the CF slot that I used to connect it to WinUAE.
:-)

So far, it's still working.

I finally formatted the second partition on the real Amiga.
Worked fine, although I should have done that on WinUAE. It was a bit slow...

I'm pretty sure you can still edit those if it bothers you that much.

I thought I had my machine running great with SFS and ClassicWB installed, until I started unzipping some files through DOpus they all extract okay but then when closing the console it freezes and reboots to a guru.

I thought my mask/maxtransfer settings were rather safe values, do I need to increase buffers above 30 and is it likely to help? these are the values I have been using:

Mask: 0xfffffffe
Maxtransfer: 0x0001fe00
Buffers: 30

Any recommendations?

If a program runs ok but crashes in the end, it's more likely an issue with the console's stack size.

Regarding buffers I would say something like 10 buffers per 100 MB with a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 500 or whatever you can afford.

No, starting "funny bit" and adding the smileys means it doesn't bother me at all.. Just interesting..

Good info about the buffers!
Thanx, I'll double check mine...

Yeah I didn't phrase that at all well, I just meant if you wanted to.

Just a general update after having a while to experiment I've discovered that all the problems I was having with the Transcend CF showing as only one partition was because of me trying to run before I could walk. I was attempting to put Smart File System on it and basically doing it wrong within HDToolBox, I have since used this guide (on the Amiga itself) and it works perfectly.

[desiv]

Oh.. Nice looking guide!

I have to admit to being lazy and going with FFS for now, so an upgrade to SFS is in the plans..

Thanx!!

I guess I spoke too soon the Transcend CF started acting weird again, I tried to create 3 partitions and only two would ever show up, I put the Sandisk back in and 3 partitions works fine... I've had to order another Sandisk because the Transcend doesn't work at all with the EasyADF kit, it just locks things up solid when I insert it into the PCMCIA slot.
