- From what I have heard, its not the SCSI controller that is really the problem
- with the Amiga using a 9gb drive, its the filesystem. Currently FFS only
- handles 2gb partitions. Some very old SCSI controllers might have problems
- with larger drives, but anything that is recent should have no problems.
-
- I'm not sure, but AFS-Pro (AmiFileSafe) might handle larger partitions then
- FFS does.
