@all

if you can afford it, buy TurboPrint, you won't regret it.

@jahc

would like to know that too.

@DaveP

yes, you are right, but you know often it take a long time for change to happen..

@DaveP

Somehow this feature should be made visible to the user.
I can already imagine the advert for it:

AmigaOS let's you choose your applications skin, and make it look&feel like exactly the Windows or MacOS counterpart, so yo can be productive from the very first moment you switch. yuk! :o)

cheers! :o)

If you have access to a Windows machine, you could just partition and format the drive there. You should write down the partition data and create a mount file with that information.

This is an example of mount file:

Filesystem = L:CrossDosFileSystem
Flags = 0
LowCyl = 16128
HighCyl = 402653
surfaces = 3
sectorsize = 2048
reserved = 2
prealloc = 1
interleae = 0
buffersw = 500
bufmemtype = 1
stacksize = 6144
maxtransfer = 0x00fff800
mask = 0x7ffffffe
globvec = -1
dostype = 0x46415401

PartitionManager8.0 on a winxp machine names the Low and HighCyl respectively "First Sector" and "Last Sector".

As far as I know CrossDos can not write MBR data, -please someone correct this if I'm wrong- so partitioning wont work but _formatting_is_not_a_problem_.

The example above is of a 250GB harddrive I've formatted and partitioned on XP (200Gb FAT32 adn 40GB ext2fs) and then plugged in to the internal sii0680ide card on my A1. I was able to copy data to it and to plug it back to a macosx and winxp machine via external usb-case.
No data corruption or else occurred.

double post sorry

@bean

thx for the update!

@nubechecorre


sounds like a messed up MBR partition table to me. Try to Partition the drive again.

I agree.

I've ordered my SamFlex right away..My A1 is thousands of KM away, and those 6 months without OS4x where sad.. I'm soo addicted...

@Fernecho

with the new filesystem JXFS you do not have a 4GB file limit AFAIK. I do not have the 4.1 documentation here, but I'm pretty shure I read something about it in there..

saludidos :)

@madmonkey

thanks mate! :)

@all

slightly OT

I have not had a chance to download the new SDK yet. It's a few days now, each time I have the opportunity to go online the site is down.

Still you can enter the username and password but mine are not recognized anymore. Someone at Hyperion Please? :)

@orgin

That's great!! And I don't have my A1 here... Mac Only since a few weeks!! good how I miss my Miggy!!

@TSK

interesting questions indeed

@thread

maybe onother bug.

TCP/IP grims here very often soon after booting

http://crashlog.os4depot.net/cl104
http://crashlog.os4depot.net/cl105

Would that be possible?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

AFAI understand, it is open source and maybe it could be used as the standard FS for AmigaOS. I guess the file system question would be solved for some time.

I have not tried JXFS yet, since there is no free space on my HD. :)

edit: I should do a forum search b4 posting.. @-/

this question was already asked by Orgin and answered by Joerg (thanx)
