Hello Keith,
well for Filesystem the Filesystem2 option is just the same as Filesystem with
an added field for the boot priority. I guess the old Filesystem option is
still there for compatibility with older UAE versions.
How do I setup an RDB hard file? I would like to try whether using a RDB
hardfile (preferably a harddisk partition) with SmartFilesystem speeds up
YAM.
I also tried whether UAE mounts the special Amithlon Amiga-in-a-partition
partition I created (MBR partition of type $76, 118). But neither
uaescsi.device nor uaehf.device displays it, there must be more magic
involved. I think its time to download the WinUAE documentation.
Regards,
