I am trying a different harddisk on my Turbo R with Gouda (Novaxis) SCSI
controller. The controller comes with following data:
Novaxis MSX2/Turbo-R SCSI BIOS Version 1.51
(c) 1994-1995 KMcs / MSX Club Gouda
Written by Jurgen Kramer july 3th 1995-
Hardware by H.G. 1993. Version 1.1
Host ID : 6 , Target ID : 0
ID #0 - IBM DPES-31080 Revision 531Q 3
ID #5 - IOMEGA ZIP 100 Revision N*32 N
I have 2 problems:
1st: If I boot I can't get to the ZIP drive. The disk in it I can use on my
other MSX with MK SCSI cartridge, so it containes partioning and data.
2nd: I want to partition the harddisk with as less partitions as possible.
I though the 32Mb boundary was broken with Novaxis, but when using NFDISK
it reports the harddisk as follow:
NFDISK V1.0 by RMt & AMs
(c) 5-1995 MSX Club Gouda
ID Vendor Productname
0 IBM DPES-31080
5 IOMEGA ZIP 100
When choosing the IBM harddisk it shows Total Capacity: :34.248, but I
think it means 1.034.248 because it is a 1Gb harddisk.
If I want to add partitions, I can't get them bigger then 31.999 kbytes for
the first partition and 31.998 for the next partitions.
It doesn't matter what I choose in the partition type selector, e.g.:
Extended, (old) PC, (old) MSX or MAK 3.0
Can someone explain this?
Greetings, Hans-Peter (hapzee) Zeedijk
