Below you find the Harddisk driver program Atari Benelux
distributes with the SH-204 Harddisks. They are *positive*
(even after double-checking and reminding them of both Alan
Pratt's and Neil Harris' remarks) that it relieves the
40-folder limit problem. They claim they've written it in
close cooperation with some guy in Japan, who's supposed to
have written the original driver (don't blame me if this is
incorrect {one can't be too careful in these buggy days}).
I might add that I've worked with the SH-204 for a couple
of months, using this driver to boot, and experienced *no
problems whatsoever* even after having close to a 100
folders (Russian roulette?). The guys at Atari Benelux have
been working with it more than six months (having 87 folders
on the harddisk alone {!}), without problems. It's a good as
guarantee as any, I think.
** flame on **
therefore this posting to the net. A limit of 40 folders is
more than ridiculous on a harddisk! Atari USA should try
much and much harder to relieve this problem for existing
customers, before the sales start dropping due to
slow user-support. If necessary, release a new version
of Gem/Tos on disk. I could live with it when I first bought
my ST, I can probably live with it again, although I've
got Tos in Rom by now!
