Subject:Re: dkbscsi.device

Yes I checked the NSDPatatch.cfg file (read the FAQ before I posted). There
is no listing for the dkbscsi.device. I was thinking of modifying one of
the other scsi.device listings to dkbscsi.device. Is that a bad idea?

Is FFS v44 the one that comes with OS3.5? If not, where do I get it? I
don't care if I have to reformat the drive.

What do you mean "Setpatch scsi NSDPatches installed"? I figure you mean a
line on the S-S or U-S, but do you have a syntax suggestion(s)?

Thanks for your help! I use the Amiga for making music, and will send free
midi files to anyone who wants them and can help me (if you really want some
and can't help me that's okay too--to a point).
