Cheapest way to obtain a 3.2 ROM for A1200
I believe I need a 3.2 ROM for my A1200 in order for it for hard drives larger than 4GB to work properly.
I was looking at the Amiga Forever Premium Edition as it says it includes 3.X ROMs but does that definitely include 3.2 or is there a cheaper way for me to obtain it please? |

Doesn't PFSAIO allow larger than 4Gb HDDs?

You need the device driver and the filesystem to support large hard drives. PFS solves the filesystem side, but the devices driver (which is in ROM) still has a limit.
It's possible to create a setup with 3.1 or 3.0 ROMs that loads a replacement device driver from the hard drive, then reboots to activate it and boot from it. It needs careful configuration, but there are plenty of guides out there as the issue has been around for decades. So, if your only reason for looking to upgrade is large hard drive support, there are cheaper ways of doing it than buying 3.2. But 3.2 has a lot more in the way of improvement besides large drive support, so it's worth considering a purchase either way. |
