Amiga Forever: Alleged SFS problem turned out to be user error
In our reports about version 2016 of the emulation package Amiga Forever a problem was mentioned when using the Smart File System that had been reported by some users on the forums and was also observed in the tests for amiga-news.de.
Thanks to the extensive support of Cloanto, trying to solve the alleged problem, it turned out once more that the real error quite often is located between keyboard and chair. In addition to the installation guides for the emulator, one must not forget to follow the official booklet of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition as well to make sure that the 68k version of SFS from the CD's L: directory is used.

Since today, an update to version 2016.0.22.0 of the emulation package Amiga Forever is available. As usual, existing installations can be updated using the Software Director.
New, besides other enhancements, is an easier installation process for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition, since it is possible now to directly boot from CD, so that the Bootdisk ADF is no longer needed. Accordingly, Cloanto's installation guide at the title link has been updated as well.
