I'm not 100% positive, but I believe HDToolBox tries to read the RDB
(Rigid Disk Block) of the drive selected, and if it can, then brings it up
in the list of recognized drives. If it can't, then it lists the drive as
"Unknown" in which case you have to define a new drive. So if HDToolBox
comes up with the drive name and lists it as "Not Changed" then you should
have nothing to worry about in making any other changes. Just be sure you
have a backup of the drive if you do <g>.
In AmigaDos 3.0 and 3.1 the FastFileSystem is built into the Kickstart ROM
so you don't have to have a seperate file in the L: directory. If
HDToolBox is reporting this as an error, then it sounds like you have
it looking for l:FastFileSystem and it can be changed by using the
"Advanced Options" button.
I seriously doubt that a MAC so called "Ram Doubler" product would work in
your 1200 and might cause some of the chips to release their blue smoke
each one is holding. When that happens, you can kiss your 1200 goodbye!
