Re: 250 gig hard drives
Hi,
Thanks for the info. I would have to agree that it should work properly
with Amiga OS 3.9. It would be helpful to have the make and model of your
drive and the geometry that was set in HDtoolbox. Hopefully, that will be
enough information for me to still use 3.1 and yet be able to setup the
drive.
Thanks,
Al
