![]() Source: vice, as it only supports CHS addressing. Reason: CHS addressing is artificially limited to 7,87GiB (13) by the ATA-specification, therefore larger drives still report 7.87GiB size when accessed with CHS. The 7,87GiB limit Description: Max HDD or card capacity 7,87GiB (total drive size).Īpplies to: A600/1200/4000 IDE with modern filesystem but original IDE driver (vice) ![]() Sources: Commodore's FFS file system, plus some parts of Workbench.Ĭonsequence: Writes above the 4GiB threshold will 'wrap around' and destroy data and the RDB on your device. The 4GiB limit Description: Max HDD or card capacity 4GiB (total drive size).Īpplies to: Any IDE or SCSI drive or CF/SD card used without a 64 bit file system ![]() I'm (very slowly) updating it to also cover SCSI controllers, but there are still parts that are not updated. Originally this FAQ was mainly written for A600/1200/4000 IDE. You'll find everything else is still there, just a bit further down. ![]() I've recently moved the 'max drive capacity' to the top. Parts of this are based on info collected from other EAB threads, often with research by Toni Wilen, Thomas Rapp, or others. Introduction This is not meant to be a step-by-step guide to set up a large SD or CF card as an amiga system drive, but it will help you identify many of the common issues.
