Peter,
Well…speaking of confessions I have one myself!
You will have seen the large number of replies to my original problem and
notice that most of the advice comes down to (i) use an IDE card on the
PC-side and (ii) use addbuffers on the Amiga-side virtual drive.
Right…I *knew* my startup sequence was set to 900 buffers on the
appropriate partition so was resigned to saving money for the IDE.
As more and more comments about addbuffers came in I thought I would
doublecheck. I opened a shell and typed addbuffers dh3: to get the
response *32*.
Checked the startup-sequence and sure enough, it had the command in for
900 buffers.
Went into shell again and tried to increase buffers by typing as follows
addbuffers dh3:2000
and got the answer …. invalid device or volume name dh3:2000
And then the light slowly came on!!!!
The reason I have been slaving over a hot drive for the last 2 weeks is
because I forgot to put a space between *dh3:* and *2000*
I entered the space, re-booted and HEAVEN.
If I wasn`t so pleased with the result I would be crippled with
embarassment.
Thanks to you and everyone else for telling me what I thought I knew.
