  • Re: Help with 1.2 Gig Hard Drive Limit!

    From James Schofield@21:1/5 to Martin Byttebier on Fri Feb 24 06:05:24 2023
    Yes you are correct. HDDriver will see the full drive, but you will
    have to partition it to whatever OS you use. TOS is limited to Approx
    500mb partitions. Other OS can have different sizes, HDDriver supports
    almost all combinations out there.

    With HDDRIVER there is no limit to the hard disk capacity with the Link
    2. You can try the demo version on
    http://www.seimet.de/hddriver_english.html.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that so that HDDriver alone isn't
    enough. PlainTOS can't cope with large partitions. One need FreeMiNT or
    MagiC aswell. Correct?
