- Subject: new MacZap info and patches index uploaded
-
- With permission of Les Herbst of Micro Analyst here in Austin, I once again
- uploaded some goodies from the latest MacZap disk (Version-4.52).
-
- MacZap now includes a recovery program for both floppies and many/most hard
- disks, MFS and HFS; unfortunately not *ALL* because the data-storage
- strategies and software-drivers vary considerably, and tailor-made recovery
- strategies have to be developed. I'll include a list below of those
- drives for which this has been done already and which are documented on the
- Zap-disk; for others, contact either your dealer or manufacturer, or Micro
- Analyst directly. Put some pressure on your disk-manufacturer to provide such
- recovery software. tell them they can include it with their disks by licensing
- it from Micro Analyst or whoever else may be able to provide a similar
- program. but that by not providing you, the customer, with some tools to
- recover from the eventual and unavoidable problem, the manufacturer has just
- set themself up for a lot of unhappy customers to contact them, sooner rather
- than later. It is *NO LONGER* acceptable to lose your hard disk for any other
- reason I can think of but a head-crash, or other *REAL* catastrophes. Some
- perverted bits are not an acceptable reason for the pain and suffering losing a
- hard disk causes. Gripe, gripe, gripe, consumers unite !!! don't wait until
- YOU have reason to cry hot, little tears. practice the emergency procedures
- before you need them (says he, who didn't either :-)
-
- old MacZap customers probably know already, that on MFS disks, you cannot
- provide more than ca. 100 files, so that the number of Patch-files were
- limited and new ZAP-version disks, usually contained new ones only by
- dropping some old ones. Well, no more. All 150+ patch-files are now
- packed into one and the unpacking software is included. I'll post both
- seperately for archiving. Of course, I can't provide the Patcher-program;
- you'll have to buy that one yourself.
-
- Recovery Strategies are provided for:

- HD20 Param File Info

-
- I think, I'll upload that information also for archiving. well, either way,
- the moderator will announce what he gets from me for archiving, eventually.
-
- this message is getting too long, already, so the rest comes in a separate
- one. I wonder if those record cold temperatures around here cause any harm to
- disk drives: 38 degrees won't do my strawberries and roses any good. eat your
- heart out, Canada - you stil out from under the snow yet ?? (-:

- PS: I forgot to mention, that I am not posting this message on request of
- Micro Analyst, but was given permission to do so on my request on behalf of
- you guys, to whom, I hope this info benefits. If this helps sell MacZaps,
- that's fine with me. useful software gets my support anytime. And if you
- are *REALLY* in *DEEP SH*T* and need to cry out for help, try calling Les
- at (512)926-4527 and ask him if his software can help you out of the tight
- spot. Mention INFO-MAC and my name, if you feel like it.
