Tony,
If I did not know the pain that HD issues can bring I would order you off
the list, but while you pack your deskset in the cardboard box the following
might help.
I wonder if either the Oktogon or the new SCSI chips use a replacement to
SCSI.device. If so, a second icon is required for HDtoolbox with the
correct name for the SCSI device in the relevant tooltype otherwise the
drives attached to the devices will not be recognised when the programme is
loaded. As far as I know, this applies to all the HDToolbox replacements,
as well.
I had great problems with partitions losing their configs and filesystems
with PFS3 and >4Gig drives. The problem was a combination of multiport EIDE
cards and SCSI.device and all problems went away by loading PFS3ds for
direct scsi operation instead of the pfs3 default FS. Since SCSI.device is
common to both SCSI and EIDE drives, this may be relevant to your
installation. You may have to reinstall PFS2 if you omitted to add PFS2DS
to the devices drawer.
As an OS 3.5 and 3.9 user, I also modified DEVS:NSDPATCH.CFG. The file
includes some help data. I still don't know if it is doing any good, but
having spent several weeks with a none working Amiga I was not going to
restore the file and have all my good work go for naught.
Regards
Roy Leith

I also have two SCSI Hard Drives. One is a 540 Meg Quantum with
4 FFS partitions. the other is a 4.3 GIG IBM with 4 PFS2
partitions. This used to be perfect. All worked well.
