IBeM trouble w/Hard disk
I have just received and loaded IBeM by Mark Tomlinson on my A3000. I am
using it with CrossDos and have just managed to get the hard drive
parititin recognized, with considerable trial and error time. Now the IBM
side won't read the drive. It sees it and will format it, but the size is
about a factor of 3 below what the size is in amiga land (14Mb instead of
40). I wonder if the data I got on the drive from Computability (no specs
or information of any sort shipped with the drive) is erroneous. It is a
105Mb Quantium drive with three partitions, one of which is 40 Mb, named
IBMC. I used the "reserved" file system. HDToolbox set the cylinders for
me. I checked it and used the numbers to set the mountlist entry. Maybe
the blocks per track is off.
IBMC:
Device = scsi.device
Unit = 5
Flags = 0
Surfaces = 4
BlocksPerTrack = 42
Reserved = 1
LowCyl = 1265 ; HighCyl = 2096
FileSystem = L:MSDOSFilesystem
DosType = 0 # [In case anyone saw my previous question in the User
forum, my main problem at that stage was that the mountlist entry for the
device was scsidev.device, and it wanted scsi.device.]
I would appreciate any advice on how to get this baby cooking.
Thanks,
Neill
