Ok, I have an Atari SH204 20 meg hard drive, which is very old. It was
formatter with AHDI 1.0 or something old like that. The hard drive crashed
and I also lost my copy of AHDI, so I got the ICDUTILS from terminator.
Everything seemed to format correctly (using tandon 262 drive and Adaptec
4000 controller.)
I configured 2 partitions, C:5.41 megs, and D:16 megs..
Everything formatted and all, but now any time i get a file selector box
(TOS 1.4) where I can select the active drive, all the drives up to like
drive M are available. Does anyone know why? Do I HAVE to have the ICD
adapter in order to properly use the software.
If so, WHERE CAN I GET A NEWER VERSION OF AHDI WHICH SUPPORTES
PARTITIONS OVER 16 MEGS!?!?

AHDI is up to version 3 which supports larger partitions. It should be available from local bbs's, it's definately on GEnie,and,if your lucky enough to have a local store,he should supply you with it. Berkely Microsystems makes a replacement PAL for the ASCI board which stops it from claiming to be every drive under the sun. Their address has been posted frequently but I don't have it. There is a program called HDFIX of ICDFIX or SUPFIX which patches the earlier freely available Supra and ICD booters to ignore the atari asci boards claims. The fix program should be available the same places as AHDI but if not (it's quite old) I'll send it to comp.binaries or somewhere. John Henders Vancouver,BC p.s. Has anyone found reliable mail paths to the German guys running Rodney's UUPC modules. Everything I try seems to bog down somewhere around snorklewacker.
