I have successfully installed PegXmac on the Peg2. Now I have to exchange/transfer images from and to the Mac from MorphOS. The author of PegXmac suggested to setup a fat16 hd partiton which can then be used under MorhOS and MacOSX but I dont know how to set it up.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Install fat95 (Aminet:disk/misc/fat95.lha 09.08.2004) to MorphOS.

short install:
fat95 to Sys:L/
messydisk.device to Sys:Devs/
and to Sys:Devs/DosDrivers the Mountfile.

And fat95 is not only FAT16! FAT32 work be me with no problem (read and write whit long Filenames and correct Flags! The Partitions formated on Win2k.)

Here are mountfiles that work on my Peg2/G4 (60Giga Maxtor on the secundary ide as master with 2 primary 32/28Giga FAT32 Partitions):

Mountfile1 name: FAT21 (for 1.primary partition on master secundary ide)

Filesystem = L:fat95
Device = ide.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 0x0
LowCyl = 0
BufMemType = 0x1
MaxTransfer = 0x7FFFFFFF
Mask = 0xFFFFFFFE
BootPri = 0
DosType = 0x46415401
StackSize = 8192
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
Buffers = 1024
Mount = 1

Iconfile FAT21.info Tooltype:
ACTIVATE=1


Mountfile1 name: FAT22 (for 2.primary partition on master secundary ide)

MaxTransfer = 0x7FFFFFFF

You can use giggledisk to create the mountfiles.

Hi,

yes I understand all you suggested but how do I format a fat16 or fat32 partiton under MorphOS (or is this not possible).

What I have on the hd is, 1st the linux stuff from PegXmac with MOL and a 5 GB partion for MacOSX. The HD is a 80 GB Maxtor. Now what I would like is to have a say 3 GB fat16 or fat32 partiton which could be called "exchage" or so in order to mount this partiton under MorphOS as well as MacOSX.

To all, thanks again for your help.

Regards

Christoph

Hello,

I try this...have a 80G hdd started with 500mb ffs for boot,5.5 gb MorphOS affs,2.5Gb Work affs,45 Gb fat32 for sharing between linux and macosx,20 gb linux ubuntu 5.10,nd finaly 2 gb for swap.

Under Linux and MacOSX i see the fat32 partition but under MOS don't
I used another hdd formated with pc on ide3 port and works.

In format menu from MOS this partition appear unformated MSDOS hardfile system...


I try to format this ppc: with format menu and all my 80g hdd formated instantly and lost all partition..


Any tips?

Hi,

I made you some screen grabs of how I set it up. What I do though is to share data on a fat32 partition between macos and MorphSO.

Both os's can see the "P4MM" partition and of cours write to it.
