Mac HD volume corruption under GS/OS
I have an Apple IIGS running GS/OS 6.0.1. I purchased a 327MB SCSI hard
drive a few years ago. Since ProDOS can only support volumes of up to
32K, and SCSI can only have seven volumes, the last partition on my hard
drive is formatted for the Macintosh.
Now to the question: Occasionaly, I have experienced problems writing to
the mac volume. It either causes my computer to go to the text screen
flashing "Detected trashed memory-software bug or (less likely) bad RAM"
or gives me a "generic FST error". Copying everything off the volume,
reformatting it from the Finder, then copying everything back clears it
up, but is a real pain. Does the fix for the Mac FST mentioned in the
CSA2 FAQ fix this problem, and do I now need to copy everything off
again and put it all back?
I should add that I am using my local library's internet access and I
can't allways access newsgroups. Some machines aren't set up properly
and they restrict access to preference. I also don't get on Internet
every day, or every week, so please don't delete the response for at
least a month.
