Experimenting with a new SCSI2SD setup with a FAT32 formatted SD card containing volume files (similar to Andrew's exFAT version).
One thing I discovered as part of my experimentation was a couple of sizing quirks when I use HD SC setup:
Not sure if there is any impact on what anyone else is doing with emulators or drive emulators, but I didn't see these quirks posted anywhere else.
I also added this information to my HFS entry on my site for my own future reference.
Summary of what I'm creating: a new "image" that can be written (raw-write) to a 32GB SD card that creates a 28.6GB FAT32 formatted partition on the SD card containing volume files that represent the HFS formatted volumes of 2 drives for your SCSI2SD to use (drive 1 with 6x2GB volumes + 2 proDOS, drive 2 with 4x4GB volumes + 2 proDOS). Hope to upload it this weekend once I finish some more testing.
One thing I discovered as part of my experimentation was a couple of sizing quirks when I use HD SC setup:
- HD SC setup automatically reduces 2GB volumes I tried to create from 2,097,152KB to 2,097,150KB, 2KB less.
- HD SC setup has a maximum volume size of 4,151,534KB, 42,770KB less than the full 4GB (4,194,304KB) that is supported by 7.5.x+
- HD SC setup has a maximum proDOS volume size of 32,767KB, NOT 32MB (32,768KB)
