DRKS support

rkauer · 07 May 2009, 09:42

Actually I have experienced all sorts of problems with my A2000.

SCSI controllers who refuses to boot, SCSI HDs who dies "while sleeping", you name it.

But I discovered the ancient IDE controller on the GVP A3001 works with a very old HD I have around (528Mb). Installed, partitioned, formatted and WB3.1 installed directly on the Amiga. Fine!

Then I decided to transfer programs using UAE. Big problem! The A3001 have byte-swap. It writes DRKS instead of RDSK (RDB).

May I ask support for those ancient written drives? Good for back upping old A2000 installations, too.

Latest beta should already work

Undocumented and not tested yet (was introduced with AdIDE "scrambling")
was not documented because I wasn't exactly sure if there really are any byteswapped controllers..

@rkauer

I think Toni has already added support to the latest 1600 Beta, due to the ICD AdIDE which also uses byte swapped RDB.

There you go Toni beat me to it.

Thanks Toni

BTW: what it is the actual beta name? I can't find any archive on the (defunct?) site.
