I have been trying to hook up a Bernoulli box 10 meg*2 hard drive system to my 3000 for a few weeks, and I have not been able to get AmigaDOS to recognize it. When I run HDToolBox it scans up the device numbers, and sees the device, but under AmigaDOS nothing I do will make any partitions on the disk show up. I am able to get it to low-level the cartridges, and I can even partition them (I know this works, as I can make different partitions on different carts, and when I change the carts and rerun HDToolBox, the correct partition shows up). But I can't seem to get AmigaDOS to see the partitions. I have tried MOUNTing them, FORMATing them, but it always responds "device unknown" or something similar. The 1.3 partition on the main HD would seem to be the same way. When I boot 2.0, I can't access anything on that partition, and if I boot 1.3, I can't get at the 2.0 partition. Is there something that has to be set to determine what OS a partition appears under? Also, is anyone working on a utility to set the CMOS bit that tells the built-in HD controller to look for logical devices other than 0? It would be nice to access the 2nd drive in the Bernoulli box, even if it took a little longer on system startup. Dave
