I've built one with SCSI drivers, it will appear as: http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/linux-image/linux-image-2.6.18-4-garkin_2.6.18.dfsg.1-10_m68k.deb Unfortunately the Falcon is continously crashing now, maybe I have to clock it down. But it seems I have also lost the software to slow down the clock... so I found xcontrol and put xcontrol.acc in C:, now I get a segfault during boot. Yeah, how do I get around that?

I have a 256 and a 512MB partition now, one of those should work, but I can't find my USB case for the hdd right now. > Another option would be a SCSI Zip drive. I don't have a ZIP drive, but I have a MOD, which is not recognized by hddriver it seems... > If that 2.6.18 still has SCSI disabled, you'll need a new one (you do have > a SCSI CD-ROM, do you?). Yes, I have a SCSI CD-Rom, the one that I bought for my Amiga a long time ago (so old, that it does not read cd-rw). I wouldn't even know how to connect an IDE CD-Rom or DVD to the Falcon, there is just one IDE port and the IDE cable has only one connector.
