Amiga 4000 limitations
Can someone point me in the direction or if they can answer me on what limitations I have as far as maximum drive capacity for Amiga OS 3.1, 3.5 and 3.9 on an A4000?
Can I use 30 and 40GB IDE hard drives with the 4000 running these new OSes? Is there a partition size limitation? I recall there was under 2.04 I believe. |

3.1 if I remember, had a limit of 4gb.
In 3.5 and 3.9, I believe this has been resolved, but I don't have a drive big enough to test it I have no idea how big the drive can be now |

That was fast. All this without the need to upgrade the IDE firmware onboard or will I need 3rd party controllers?
This is the system I picked up: Amiga 4000D 2MB chip / 14MB fast Data Flyer autoboot SCSI card Picasso II 2 IDE drives Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM Keyboard Mouse |

New scene!!
Ok, so enough with the basic questions, now back to the topic of this forum, which is what is "new" as far as the Amiga is concerned? I used to have plenty of demos dating back to the Amiga 1000. When the AGA Amigas came out I pretty much was at the end of my time with the Amiga. The demos on the OCS and ECS chipset were excellent enough, but I can imagine the AGA demos must of totally blown them away.
Are there still some groups from back then active today? |

Demos. um....I haven't really kept up.
Fairlight are still semi-active. I think possibly "The Black Lotus" are active. I really have no idea
