Just as a note for all the AmigaOS users out there: Hyperion 
Entertainment released AmigaOS 3.1.4 for various Amiga models. This 
should fix all (known) issues with large disks for good directly in the 
Kickstart ROM instead of via SetPatch updating the ROM by replacing 
modules or by using NSDPatch approach. Olaf Barthel was one of the 
developers involved with the update. Digital downloads only so far, 
physical releases with floppy disks and ROM chips are announced.

This would be another reason to support large disks in Linux as well.

Thank you, Michael.

(Omitting link as to not too directly advertise proprietary products 
here, it is easy enough to find.)

Thanks,
