Uaehf.device and WB 3XXXXX

I know this has been delt with a hundred times in many forums.

I use UAE 8.22 R9, OS 3.9, Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.70
Win XP, AMD 2800, GTS4, 512K Ram

Here's the skinny:

I installed OS 3.1 at first, everything workes fine except that when I try to use the uaehf.device that hard file won't show up.

I installed 3.5 same thing, also with 3.9 same results.
Good thing about 3.9 is uaehf.device automatically comes up with the look feature. Still after I use it no Hard File

As a goof I tried WB 2.5 and my hard file comes up under the Hard Drive Toolbox.

Under 3.1 I could probably use IDEFix but I can't get my hands on it. 3.5 and 3.9 supposed to have fixed the 128 meg curruption problems and td64 limitations and I don't need IDEFix with either of them.

I have tried setpatch AND setpatch skiprom updates.

If there is a soulution on this can anyone help me out?

PS JABO doesn't answer email no mater how desperate.

In order to use a HDF in HDToolbox you need to set Sectors, Surfaces and Reserved to 0 (zero). This HDF is then no longer compatible to an ordenary HDF. A conventional HDF shows up as a FFS partiton on Workbench, no need to partition it, just format it.

Dude, in two seconds you fixed something that has plagued me for almost a year and this is just one thing that ticks me off to no end is that this (atleast I could not find) is not documented anywhere.

Great job to this guy!

I think this is documented either in the version history or in the WinUAEHowTo.txt file. At least it was mentioned when the feature was added.

I might add some these 'technical' features to next version of winuae.chm file.

If anyone has suggestions then please send them to me.

Technical Features to add, hmmmmm
Do you mean to the manual or the the executable.

I would add the CTRL Amiga Amiga or the CTRL L-ALT R-ALT
to reset the Amiga. When you quit emulation it should go back to the menu instead of exiting the program. I would write the whole thing in assembly language, er um, I fell asleep there.
