Re: RamFAST & big drives

I'm not so sure about this. When I put anything over a 999MB drive on my ramfast, wierd things happen. It doesn't recognize the total size of the drive, I can't partition it, and formatting it returns an internal Ramfast error.

Many such problems are related to the arithmetic used in the
formatting utility.

Of course, the card must also do block number arithmetic in
accessing the partitions, so that is another issue.

Does anyone know what the RAMFast partition information looks
like?  The firmware for block addressing?
