maybe a volunteer can add all this stuff to AmigaOS Wiki?
including a step by step description of what to do and why?
that would be highly appreciated!
thanks and regards

Perhaps the device drivers have to be enhanced to enable "native" operation? Is it disabled by default and must be enabled by the driver?
BTW, a user should not *have* to do anything especial to use a device that plugs into a standard SATA port and uses a standard device driver. It's a hardware issue and should be handled at that level.

MTB is only for defining partitions, although you can use it at a low level to redefine block and cylinder sizes. The name is perhaps inadequate, but the name "Partition Wizard" was already used at the time that MTB was written.
