You should now get a version number of 43.24, replacing the older 37/40.xx series. To check, open up a shell prompt and type: That’s it! Reset your Amiga and it will now patch the vice with a newer version.

Select the correct vice for your hardware (eg for a standard A1200) and copy it to the “Devs” drawer. To make things easier, each one has been named as to identify what hardware it is for.

In the left window, you will see various vice files that have been patched for you and are ready to install. Open up Dopus and in the left window go to the “MyFiles/LargeHD/128GB Support/SCSI_IDE_43_24/Patched” drawer and in the right window go to the “Devs” drawer. Short quick tutorial for up to 128GB hard drive support in ClassicWBĪ tutorial video is provided on the main ClassicWB site. Workbench 0 users should therefore use the FFS or PFS unless they know otherwise. v1.84 may be the exception, but I can’t find information regarding its requirements.

As far as I know, all versions of SFS require at least Workbench 3.0 and a 68020.

When formatting partitions beyond 4GB, ALWAYS use the quick option.

Check the utility for >4GB support first!

Also be sure that any partitions that go beyond the 4GB barrier are not altered using tools like Reorg, DiskSalv etc if those tools do not offer 64bit support.

Exceptions are when using SFS v1.84, PFS Direct-SCSI or FFS v44.5 outlined in Solutions 1 and 2, where you may get away with one large 8GB partition but it’s not recommended.

Remember, it may be a good idea to keep the boot partition relatively small and ALWAYS within the first 4GB of space regardless of which solution is used.

Even so, HDToolbox can work on larger partitions if the numbers are entered correctly for cylinders/heads/sectors on the Install Drive page as well as start and end cylinders for partitions. Be aware that it fails to display numbers greater than 4096MB (4GB) and may even display the partition diagram incorrectly.

The recommended tool to install filesystems and partition drives is the standard HDToolbox.

It’s in the drawer “MyFiles/LargeHD/Tools/Check4GB” and will be useful in explaining and checking for 4GB compatibility.

Read the documentation and familiarise yourself with the tool “Check4GB” by Thomas.
