- I don't think that this is a good idea...
- One problem with HD-Disks on Amigas is the software. The Kickstart/WB2.04
- doesn't work properly with HD and DD-Disks in combination. Either only use
- DD-Disks after booting or only HD-Disks after booting, but don't use
- different types. I always disable my DD-only Disk-drive, when I want to use
- HD-Disks in my other disk-drive, because the System might get confused even
- if there hasn't been any DD-disk in the drive. I hope this problems will
- be gone when I get version 2.1 of the operating system.
-
- I think there is a software solution to this problem on one fish-disk (with
- a name like HD-Fixer?), but I don't know where.
