::Z.3 Hard Dl1k Drive,
Golden Gate provide■ two different methods for the operation of MS-DOS
hard disk partitions or hard disk drives, Both methods can be used together or
separately of each other.
Method I
Method 2
Complete Amiga-DOS partitions can be used as MS-DOS
partitions and/or a big Amiga-DOS file can be used which
contains one or more MS-DOS partitions.
A separate IDE PC/AT hard disk drive can be connected with the
Golden Gate IDE hard disk interface and be used for MS-DOS.
Independent of the fact whether MS-DOS partitions are provided according to
method l or 2, the operating system can be booted directly from one of these
MS-DOS partitions.
In the following, questions and their answers are compiled which can be of
interest in connection with this topic.
Which Amiga hard disks are supported ?
The driver software of the hard disk controller must be Commodore
compatible.
How does Golden Gate use an already existing Amiga hard disk
?
As has already been described as method l, Golden Gate can use the
Amiga hard disk in two different ways. An example shall explain this a little
further.
Let's assume that there is a SCSI hard disk controller in an Amiga 2000 to
which a Quantum 52MB hard disk and a Syquest 44MB removable hard disk
drive are connected. With the installation program included in the delivery
of the hard disk controller 3 Amiga-DOS partitions DH0:, DH l: and DH2:
have been installed. DH0: and DH I: have a size of 26MB each and both are
on the Quantum hard disk and DH2: has 44MB and occupies the complete
cartridge of the Syquest drive.
The user of this Amiga 2000 has made his decision for the following
assignment:
DH l: shall be completely available for MS-DOS as partition C.
