[ This is my first message to The Net, so I hope I don't make a complete fool of myself. Please have mercy with me :-) ] I have a problem with my A1000 and my SideCar (Yes, there are some of them 'round the world.) I'll specify the problem first, and then give my configuration. PROBLEM: When running under WB1.2, I've configured my 20MB-PC-Harddisk, as 10MB-Amiga/10-MB-PC. Everything worked fine. I just djmount'ed and got up my 10MB JH0: on the Amy. Now however, I've just recently received WB1.3, WITH the PCInstall-disk. So I've got the NEW Janus.library and jdisk.device. When I boot WB1.3 I can't FORMAT JH0: !!! This is my (one of many) line: 1> format DRIVE JH0: NAME x0 INHIBIT Insert disk to be initialized in drive JH0: and press RETURN format failed - not enough memory The format-command is the one supplied with the PCInstall-disk. To furthermore mystify the scene, I've tried to format JH0: under WB1.2 (using dpformat, but also using the new format from PCInstall, both worked). I then got a working harddisk under WB1.2, but when I reboot under WB1.3, the system tells me that JH0: isn't a DOS disk (I now use djmount from WB1.3). QUESTION: What shall I do to get a working system? I just want to be able to use WB1.3 with my A1000, Sidecar and harddisk. (For a start that is. If possible I would like to exend my memory from the now lousy 0.5MB I've got (standard equipment...) to the vicinity of 2.5MB!) CONFIGURATION: * Amiga A1000, purchased x-mas 1985, international model (no kickstart-daughterboard) * Sidecar A1060, purchased spring 1987 Commodore Sidecar BIOS Rev. 2.06 380 619 - 03 Janus Handler Version 2.63 \ Janus Library Version 33.1 / WB 1.3 * X-drive A1010, (I've tried with this one disconnected...)
