- Change your mountlist or Use HDToolBox (either one of those, I dunno
- where they keep this information now) to change your MaxTransfer to
- 0xFFFF or lower (0xFe00). This should get those programs to work. The
- loadfile hunk problem is a symptom of an IDE Hard disk which only seems
- to do MaxTransfers of 64k or less. Some people have used 128k with
- success, but 64k is safe, apparently. Anyone have any SOLID data on
- what's going on here? I've seen this problem all over the net with
- A1200's, that's why I'm able to answer this question.
