- Get a PD program called "DiskInfo" (v1.20) from either wuarchive.wustl.edu
- or amiga.physik.unizh.ch (in the Amiga utilities directories). This will show
- exactly what file system your hard disk is formatted under (since there are
- six filesystems for the Amiga now, this little bugger is bound to come in
- very handy).
- You could just do an "Information..." from the Workbench on the hard disk
- icon and check the block size field. If it's 488 bytes, it's OFS, if it's 512
- bytes, it's FFS. The problem is that there are now different flavors of OFS
- and FFS. <Frown> Get DiskInfo; it'll tell you.
