This disc contains
!HForm - A disc formatting utility from Acorn
!Syquest - A filing system patch for using removable
drives by Hugo Feinnes
!HForm
======
!HForm will format or initialise hard discs attatched to the ADFS
filing system. It runs outside the desktop but does not affect it.
Pressing escape at any time aborts the program without carrying
out the format. You will be asked the number of the drive to format
HFoem will try to identify that drive. Confirm that the drive it
describes IS the one you want to format. Both ACorn and NCS accept
no responsibility for the loss of data through the use of HForm.
We reccommend that you do not keep a copy of HForm on your hard
disc(s). Keep it on a floppy for when you need it.
You should not need to format any modern hard disc drives. When
asked to Format or Initialise (F/I) always choose to initialise.
!SyQuest
========
This program fixes the filing system so that it is not upset when
the removable disc is spun down and removed.There are two versions
of this program supplied, one for drive 4 and
one for drive 5. Use drive 4 if your removable drive is the master and
use drive 5 if it is the slave. Using Syquest on a fixed hard disc
will have no adverse affects.
Load it on to the icon bar and click once so that it indicates that
a disc is present. Clicking on it again will cause the disc to spin
down so that it can be safely removed. When re-inserting a disc
allow the drive to spin up before clicking on the SyQuest icon.
