1152.0. "KAOS 1.4-2,boot from harddisk, no floppies seen" by HAMSC4::CLUBITZ () Thu Jul 04 1991 06:22

I've installed the new system KAOS 1.4 on my ATARI and recognized, that this
software would not attach the floppies. The hard disk booted well, the icons
for the floppies (3,5" and 5 1/4") are seen, but when I want to open the 
window for disk A or B the following error occure:

	Such a device is unknown in the system.

The workaround for this behavior is to rename the bootfile on the harddisk
and booting the system from device A, where you start also the harddisk.

Is there any patch or program that set up the right bits on the system, so that
the drives A and B are known without touching them during boot phase ?

Thanks for help, Christian.

1152.1who's selling it now?UFHIS::BFALKENSTEINThu Jul 04 1991 08:1814
    
    I have no answer handy, but another question. Since months I'm
    waiting for 1.4-2 that I ordered, but the only roumors I've heard
    tell me that they have some kind of trouble with the rights and are
    not ready to deliver the OS.
    So where did you get your KAOS from, if I may ask. Is there another
    company that is able to deliver NOW?
    
    B.t.w. the older version 1.4-1 does not have such problems with the
    floppies, but others in terms of compatibility to certain programs
    like an old version of Adimens...
