Workbench 1.3.3 HD HDF issues
I decided to refresh my Workbench 1.3.3 HD install, after some issues, and run into many problems with installation. Long time ago, we used to copy FastFileSystem from WB1.3.3 and place it as FileSystem when mounting drive - if you do that now, disk does not get recognized. If you try to format it with FFS parameter, it does not work, creates NDOS disk.
#If you just format it normally with any non Cloanto Workbench 1.3.3, you will get bunch of garbage in WB or for instance in Directory Opus. #If you use Cloanto - format and copying of files work fine, but some programs don't work, such as 'Say' in Utilities. (what makes me wonder what else does not work). Am I missing something or should there be better way to emulate Amiga 500 with A590 20MB drive?? Here are some screenshots... |

I have stopped creating HD from WB 1.3.
As you are using emulation, use a WB 3+ to create the HDF you will use with WB 1.3. Don't forget to copy the FFS on the disk while preparing it with HDToolBox. Personally I'd use PFS3aio, but do as you prefer As soon as it is formatted, use it with 1.3. Best way to avoid issues |

Corrupt characters: fastfonts active without cycle-exact or immediate blitter. FF is buggy.

If you don't mind I would like to give a try. What size do you want for your HDF ?

For Workbench 1.3 of course I am using 1.3 FFS.
Here is instruction on setting 1.3.3 on HD made by Paul long time ago: http://guide.abime.net/wb1.3/chap1m2p2.htm Wow, linking guide twice today... so unusual. Still miss Little Green Alien. |

The problem remains: Which harddisk controller is emulated there, and what is the mask and the BufMemType? A couple of DMA-driven harddisk host adapters require 24-bit DMA. Unfortunately, there is no corresponding BufMemType for that under 1.3, so you can only use Zorro-II RAM to make them work.

At the first I was thinking you are joking, but after bit research I actually did that, as part of further modifying startup and adding startupHD made mostly from startup-sequence.HD file. Thank you!
Yep, that did fix issue with fast fonts. Wonder if there is better FF available that works well with WB 1.3. I am still working on non FFS hard disk. I just can't figure out how to setup FFS to work with WinUAE anymore. (age ) |

Well, it seems that fast fonts are only problem if you start them while CPU is set to max. So, I decided to use uae-configuration to set cpu speed to real, run FF, change back speed to max and everything still works without any issues.
Got to love that uae-config works flawlessly on WB 1.3 too. Thank you Toni! |
