I just got my 1.3 OS this weekeend, and have been playing
around trying to make things work properly.  My machine is

Amiga 1000 (no half brite)
Supra 4x4 with 30 Meg hard disk
Starboard 2 memory expansion w/ 512K

The Supra is divided into 2 partitions,
10 Meg (cyl 0-201) and 20 Meg  (cyl 202-599)

I have tried telling the partitioning program 
"SupraFormat" that both partitions are using the
new fileystem.  However, their mount command doesn't
work. It will not mount.  No errors however.  There is
the requisite "l:newfs" that they want.

I also tried to mount dh0: with mount.  This does work,
however, every so often the machine completely hangs
with the hard disk light on.  

Has anyone had any luck with either using the "SupraMount"
command to use the FFS, or know of tricks for a normal mount?
If necessary, I can get my mount list.

No, there is no PAL grounding on this machine, I don't think
that it would make a difference.

thanks much
