I've recently aquired PFS3 and i can't get it to work at all. I can install it, If i'm lucky i can get a partition to use PFS3 but i can't get it to be recognised. SFS can be tempremental if you go outside the first 4GB but it does work.

@Buleste

are we talking about the same SFS ? i am not on about the one that comes as standard with any of the OS's....

I tried the newer one and i couldn't get anyhting to recognose it. Maybe it's just me.

I have PFS as my fs and it's great - I think it utilises space better, also it's much faster and has a recycle bin, and rarely fragments.

What OS are you using and how do you configure HDToolbox to recognise the File system??? I've managed to install it but i can't get it to work at all.

I've just thought of one issue. Is it possible with an internal laptop CD-Rom drive, connected to the A1200 via a buffered interface, to pass the CD audio out and somehow mix it with the Amiga's audio so that they are both sent to the speakers?

On the A4000 it actually has audio header pins on the motherboard, so I just needed to use a standard CD audio cable connected from the back of the drive, to the header. And in the past on the A1200, using an external SCSI drive, to mix the audio a audio phone splitter cable was provided so that the audio from both the CD and Amiga were passed to the speakers (although this did degrade the quality).

So any solution for this with an internal IDE CD drive in the A1200?

There is a CD passthrough on Amigakit but with a bigbox backplate. I'd just cut it down or mod it in someway. I dont' know what the IDEexpress is like. I assume it's faster than the simple one plus you get a full version of IDEfix and Allegro CDFS. As i have both it doesn't matter.

It was 3.0, and I just followed the instructions that came on the CD with PFS. Doesn't the FS get loaded onto the RDB?
