- I need help.
-
- Here it is: I recently got a 425MB disk and connected it to my good old
- A2090, no autoboot, ok. Installing, formatting, etc, no problem.
- BUT: if data is accessed that is in a sector above sector number 524288,
- I get checksum errors, as many as you like. I partitioned the drive so
- that only the first 520000 (or so) sectors are used, but I want it all!
-
- I've heard that the A2090 has problems with large drives. I also heard
- of some kind of upgrade that would fix it. Does anyone have any suggestion,
- information or something that would help me?
-
- Yours
