Well, more on the A5k...
It's still a 4meg one (no-one seems to want to offer me a cheap u/g :-(
I have got for it (after catastropic failure of it's IDE disc, a
replacement harddisc.
I bought it a SCSI one (second hand, but working) it's 1Gb
I have a 200Meg IDE in the same machine
I also have an Acorn SCSI I card.
I have SCSIdm (which is pants, but....)
I am now stuck
I can format the disc, which I have, once. 0 defects.
I then tried to work out how to 'initialise' it. I can either dedicate
(using SCSIDM) about 1/2 the disc to ADFS, and none to RISC ix, OR I can
dediate some to RISC OS /and RISC ix
either way, I'm screwed because !Partman wont create anything on the first
of the two methods, and will only create RISC ix partitions using the
second method. What do I do?
suggestions like 'kick it' arent helpful... dont suggest them anyway,
because there's a substantial chance I may do just that,...
