Hi,

I've recently added an additional 1Gb scsi hard disc to my RiscPC, but as I
already have four scsi "drives" on my iconbar, I have a problem: I can't access
all of it!

Problem: RISC OS 3.5 will only allow 512Mb per "drive" partition
Problem: I cannot use the RISC OS 3.6 FileCore on my OAK SCSI card
 	 (unless you know different)

Poss. Solution: Get the new FileCore working.
Poss. Solution: Partition the drive as 2 x 512Mb drives, and only use one of
		them :-(
		
Poss. Solution: As above, but unconfigure my SyQuest drive so I can access the
		full Gig :-(
		
Lateral Solution: Forget about the drive under RISC OS, and program it as 
		  a dedicated SCSI drive for the PC card.

NEW PROBLEM: !PCconfig wants to know the number of heads and the number of 
    	     sectors on my drive. How do I discover this? Does anyone 
    	     happen to know the shape of my drive? My SCSIform program reports
    	     it as: an "IBM DPES-31080" drive with 0x205200 blocks of 512
    	     bytes (1034.25 Mbytes).

I'd be very grateful if anyone [particularly on the non-acorn groups] can
answer this.

Followups set to comp.sys.acorn.extra-cpu.

Thanks,
