Your first problem is not a problem in itself. The emulation software just defaults to lower available speed value when the CMOS kicks in. It doesn't mean you are running at that speed, only that the CMOS not being able to find a value in a lookup table, automatically assumes the lowest available value which is 16mhz. Your second problem should be easy to solve if: a. The partition you have selected to use as your harddrive is less than 230 MB. If it is, you are going to have to break it down into two or more partitions. b. Make sure that these partitions are formatted on the Amiga side first prior to making them available to the emulation. c. When the emulations first kicks in, make sure you get to the CMOS screen, make the necessary value changes, and if your version of BIOS allows it, run the HD Auto detect rather than inputing the HD parameters yourself. d. Terminate the emulation with a (dont' quote on this) <L-Amiga> <R-Amiga> <Alt> combination, this will save the CMOS values whenever you do an emulation shutdown. e. The next time, run an FDISK, and select your active partition, and subsequently you will then have to format it. The same goes for any other partition that you will want to use in your emulation. Hope this helps, Catcha later,
