Any means of mounting a dh9 hard drive?

13 July 2013, 10:40

For some reasons, my hardware setup in the nineties included a dh9 drive. I could specify the mount in Win-UAE, but in FS-UAE, I'm struggling to do so.

In the FS-UAE launcher, only dh0-dh3 can be mounted. I've looked to the configuration options and tried

Code:

hard_drive_9 = /pathxyz
hard_drive_9_label = labelxyz

there. But to no avail.

Is there any means to do this in FS-UAE?

have you got any harddrive prepping util for the amiga and simply change its designation?

such as the install disk etc.

was it a scsi drive?

It was an IDE drive that had 10 partitions. I copied each partition's content into a modern file system (a long time ago) and wanted to indicate to fs-uae which folder to use for which partition. Actually, I only need dh0/dh1/dh2/dh9. I can't just take the dh9 folder as dh3 as there are a lot of legacy scripts where dh9 is used.

In WinUAE's launcher I could select the mount name (eg., dh9) and assign a folder to it. But in FS-UAE, there is no option to do so.

Ok, so for the time being I'm mounting the dh9 folder to dh3 and I've added a

Code:

assign dh9: dh3:

to the startup sequence. That works.

Hi, while FS-UAE Launcher only shows 4 drive configuration boxes, FS-UAE itself support up to 10 drives (DH0 through DH9), so hard_drive_9 should work fine (and I just tested that it does indeed work).

Perhaps there was a configuration error when you specified hard_drive_9? You can check FS-UAE.log.txt (or attach to a post if you want help with it).

Of course, the assign works fine as well

I've just tried again hard_drive_9 and now it works... Must have been some typo. Sorry for the post.

No problem

(I'll also add documentation for hard_drive_5..9 to http://fs-uae.net/options)
