I have just received and loaded IBeM by Mark Tomlinson on my A3000. I am using it with CrossDos and have had a bear gettin ght ehard drive partition recognized in the IBM side. I have that done now and the .com file is there as it should be, bu the drive will not boot. It says that it cannot read a file. In addition the size of the drive is 14Mb when I partitioned it in HDTOOLBOX for 40 Mb. I used the specs from a technician at Computability (who shipped the drive with absolutely zero specs or instructions, not even how to change the SCSI address), but maybe they are incorrect. Here is my mountlist entry: IBMC: Device = scsi.device Unit = 5 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 4 BlocksPerTrack = 42 Reserved = 1 LowCyl = 1265 ; HighCyl = 2096 FileSystem = L:MSDOSFilesystem DosType = 0 # I got the cylinder numbers form HDToolbox when I partitioned the drive. I would appreciate any advice on how to get this baby cooking. Thanks, Neill
