I have a new drive for my A5000. Its a Cumulus drive (no I havent heard
of them either). Anyway its drive number/type is CP3104 which as we all
know is an IDE number, and the drive is about 100Mgs. The problem is
that !Hform that I got with my A5000 last year fails to format the drive.

Why is this? Anybody know how to [f|m]uck with Hform to make it format it?

Is there a new version of HForm - like with RiscOs 3.1? The version I got
seemed to be able to format only 4 types of IDE drive (which is kinda silly)
I'm not sure what version number it is, but I bought the 5000 around oct19 91.

If you have  a formatter then please e-mail it to me, or tell me what kind
of drive I can put in it.

Thanks
	Felix

PS Are there any shows upcomming in England? I'm back for a visit Nov 19-28
and need a new keyboard!
