KCS Power PC board hd setup problem

utri007 · 04 February 2017, 17:04

Hello

Recently I bought a KCS Power PC board. Last eveing I decided to try it.

I didn't have a working A500 configurartion, so I installed my GVP Impatct series II HD8 with SCSI2SD drive. Everything went smooth, no problem here.

Installed software for Power PC board and tried to setup Hard drive. Choosed correct scsi board from setup, but I an't see any hard drive partitions?

My SCSI controller is supported, is there a something how partition should be created? Or should all partitions display in setup screen?

I read manual, but there is very few words about this and nothing for problem solving.

Section 3.3 seems to have a bit of information. The partition device name should be KCS and then it will hopefully be visible on the PC side setup program.

It's probably a good idea to keep this partition within the first 4GB of the emulated SCSI ID.

Thanks for the answer. Manual actually says if you want to use existing partition just go directly to step 4. So I thought that device name wasn't importan, but when I got these probelems I recreated partition with that name.

SD card is 2gb so no problems with 4gb barrier. Sys is 100mb, work is 100mb, games is 1gb and KCS is 30mb. Pictrure in page 17 actually shows all partitions, not just KCS. But in picture they are DH0 38mb and DH1 12mb, so is there that huge problem with partitions sizes?
