You need to patch scsi.device *before* you initialize the hdd for the first time.
Now that you have done it wrong, you can use this: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/fixhddsize |

Just on this, if a SCSI device is used where the device driver is something other than scsi.device, say gvpscsi.device or dkbscsi.device, can the patch still be used?

Which patch?
FixHddSize ist not a patch. It can be used on every device driver. The scsi.device patch is for scsi.device only. And not every scsi.device but only the one which is contained in the Kickstart (i.e. the driver for the onboard IDE or SCSI controllers of some Amiga models). |

Yes, and hence my reason for asking the question...

hi matt i think some wires are crossed here.
the device name for my IDE interface is SCSI.DEVICE Where I think you are looking to patch a real SCSI device is that correct Dave |

"The patch" is not really a patch but rather a new version of the Commodore scsi.device. It fixes bugs and adds new features. For third-party controllers you need to find a specific patch. Ususally it means to replace the firmware ROM, for example by the GuruROM for GVP controllers. The AlphaPower IDE controller can be updated by installing Oktapussy on the HDD, without replacing the actual EPROM. Real SCSI host adapters usually support HD_SCSICMD and can be made to support large harddrives by using a Direct-SCSI filesystem (for example FFSTD64, PFS3ds or SFS up to version 1.87) or by NSDPatch. |
