- OK, OK, OK. You're correct. If you're using a SCSI HD, you prep RES2: NOT
- DH2:. Also, in the devs/mountlist, you should see the LowCyl = 0 and
- HighCyl = 1 (This will be the RESx: entries). This is where you'll be
- "PREPing" to.
-
- For the first partition of a HD...

- You should never have an entry in the mountlist that conflicts with the
- AmigaDos assignments above.
-
- The above info came out of the 2090 controller manual, and the Amiga 2000
- introduction manual.

- Also true. Sorry for the confusion. I stand corrected.
