Hi, Thanks for the info. I would have to agree that it should work properly with Amiga OS 3.9. It would be helpful to have the make and model of your drive and the geometry that was set in HDtoolbox. Hopefully, that will be enough information for me to still use 3.1 and yet be able to setup the drive.
