Yes but it only recognises it as FFS for some reason.

The JAE to IDE adaptor turned up today and is now fitted to the CD drive ready to be installed in the A1200. (I wasn't too happy about the packaging of the interface. Was just in a standard letter envelope and so the postman had stuffed it through the letterbox. Wasn't damaged though...)
I'm now just waiting for the buffered IDE interface to arrive from AmigaKit, then I can get to work connecting it all up.

Managed to get PFS installed on 2 partitions on my Hard Drive. Impossible to get it to use anything over the first 4 GB though and it's less stable than SFS as within one day i had a file system error. I may be going back to SFS.

Not true mate.
Use SFS beyond the 4 gig barrier all the time, as do a lot of users.
One problem some people have with SFS is with the IBrowse cache.
A lot use FFS for this partition and SFS for the rest.
I have had no problems when using a buffered eide interface from Elbox.
Did have the odd corruption in the cache when using the FastATAIII interface though.
So 'm assuming the speed has something to do with this.

I managed to get a 6 GB partition working in PFS3 but i can't get any partition that starts outside the first 4GB of the HDD working which was a problem with SFS but has since been sorted out. Overall PFS may have some speed advantages over SFS but it is now outdated and poorly designed.

OK, so which file system should I use with my 40GB 2.5" HD? Should I partition the first one to under 4GB and use FFS on that and then another for the rest of the disk?
My buffered IDE interface arrived today so I'm ready to go ahead with the install.

Use SFS for everything apart from maybe an Internet Cache partition.
Both my 3.9 and 4.0 installations are in the first 4gig and use SFS.

So SFS is freeware? I didn't realise that.
I'm going to give it a go later.
So what are the steps needed?

SFS is simple. stick it in L: and then add it to the RDB and Bobs your mothers brother. Make sure you have the latest version though.
