Installing PFS3 on 8.5GB SCSI HD

[lopos2000]

My TermPower is off because it's in the middle of my chain. I'll check NSDPatch.cfg in a minute.

This is what I found in my NSDPatch.cfg.

Does this look correct?

Sorry for digging out this old thread but was it ever solved?

I think I'm suffering from the same problems on my A1200T, PFS doctor complains about the same stuff...it's a 4.3gig hd

Well, there is not such a big difference between 4GB and 4.3GB. Why don't you just leave 300MB empty at the end of the HDD ? Then you don't need to worry about the 4GB problem at all.

Hdtoolbox sees is as 3.9 gig and that's how I formatted it.

I just think it's weird since blizzppc.device and cybbpc.device should both be TD64 compatible (no probs whatsoever with my CSPPC SCSI)

Should I comment out all blizzppc.device stuff in NSDPatch.cfg?

No. In the end I just partition my drive into 4 partitions of 2G. Formated the first 4 GB with PFSFormat and the rest I did a quick format.

If it's smaller than 4GB, you shouldn't have problems with any software. It shouldn't even try to use TD64, it's not needed.

Don't know. Try it, perhaps it helps.
