Hi all,
I spent a good chunk of yesterday going through setting up a 32GB PATA SSD that I have (a king spec one) for use initially in my A4000D and then in a week or so when it turns up (hopefully) in an A1200 that I have coming.
So far I have:
KS: 3.0
WB: 3.1
Device: scsi.device 43.45 for A4000 (from the CWB - but I'm not running CWB) using LoadModule
FS: PFS3 installed to the drive's block area (forget what it's called).
Partitions: WB - 512MB, Games & Data, both half of whats left. Approximately half anyway. Around 14G each.
Now, straight away, I'm sure the KS3.0 / WB3.1 isn't ideal but it's been like that for a long time now and I don't really want to have to re-do my WB partition to downgrade it to 3.0 so I'm hoping that's not the cause. When the 1200 turns up I will upgrade to WB3.1 anyway.
I've set the disk up and it all works fine in WinUAE as IDE 0. Initially I was on the next scsi.device up. 44.2 Doobry. Check4GB under WinUAE reports all OK for the two partitions that are over 4GB.
So I put the disk in my A4000D and it refused to see partition DH2: at all which happens to be DATA: and has stuff on it needed to boot so it wouldn't get as far as the W/B. After dropping down a version of scsi.device to 43.45 the system boots up fine and all appears well bar one thing that I'll come to in a moment but Check4G no longer says OK for the two large partitions, it says "* N S" which I take to mean T64 is not supported by something. But is it otherwise OK?? Am I safe to use this?
The one thing that isn't right regardless (on WinUAE with 44.2 scsi or real with 43.45 scsi) is that the window title for Games and Data don't state the correct free space. Is that normal and presumably just because I'm on WB3.1?
At a later date I should have my GBA1000 fully accelerated at which point I'll probably put 3.9 on there but for the 1200 (and until that arrives the 4000) I was going to stick with 3.1 as it will primarily be for gaming.
I think I've got a reasonable grasp on all of this but if anyone could just fill in the missing bits in my knowledge I'd appreciate it.
Oh, and thanks for fitsteve for your YouTube video. You do make it nice and straightforward
