Below you find the Harddisk driver program Atari Benelux distributes with the SH-204 Harddisks. They are *positive* (even after double-checking and reminding them of both Alan Pratt's and Neil Harris' remarks) that it relieves the 40-folder limit problem. They claim they've written it in close cooperation with some guy in Japan, who's supposed to have written the original driver (don't blame me if this is incorrect {one can't be too careful in these buggy days}). I might add that I've worked with the SH-204 for a couple of months, using this driver to boot, and experienced *no problems whatsoever* even after having close to a 100 folders (Russian roulette?). The guys at Atari Benelux have been working with it more than six months (having 87 folders on the harddisk alone {!}), without problems. It's a good as guarantee as any, I think. ** flame on ** therefore this posting to the net. A limit of 40 folders is more than ridiculous on a harddisk! Atari USA should try much and much harder to relieve this problem for existing customers, before the sales start dropping due to slow user-support. If necessary, release a new version of Gem/Tos on disk. I could live with it when I first bought my ST, I can probably live with it again, although I've got Tos in Rom by now! ** flame off ** -------------------------------------------------- begin 644 ahdi.arc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
