Hi!
Well I dunno. If it has, I strongly suggest using SFS at least when
you have a large IDE drive on the internal Amiga 1200/4000 IDE
controller.
But make sure that SFS partitions after 7.8GB barrier are mounted
late, cause otherwise you get annoying requesters from SFS as long as
the AmigaOS ROM Update with the scsi.device (IDEdisk) which supports
>7.8 GB is not installed. To do so you can use NSDPatch.cfg or
RDBMounter by Joanne Dow.
