- Hello netland,
- following is a short decription and HQX-file, which I recently sent
- to a few people on the MAC-USER digest group. May be, it is of an
- interest to other people in the netland.

- Subject: SCSI-driver sources -- any interest?
-
- Hello netland,
-
- those of You, who read the german computer journal "c't" know
- of an article in volume 8 and 10 of this year, which decribed
- how to write a hard disk driver for the MAC. In addition to this
- there was published sources for the driver and an utility for
- the formatting and installation of the driver. The author Leo
- Drizis wrote about his experience in using it on large SCSI drives-
- without any problems and also with a realy partition facility..
- He recommended the sources for Your adaption of other SCSI devices
-
- I have downloaded a StuffIt archive which containes all
- sources and binaries. You need Think C to compile it. But
- I think the application to an ordinary SCSI hard disk does not
- need a recompliation. So You only can extract the binaries for
- Your non standard and unsupported hard disk -- (on Your own risk!)
-
- For understanding the philosophy of the driver and utility You
- should read the article in c't.
- Following is about 300KByte binhexed text.

- P.S. I am not resonsible for that software but I trust the project.
- I heard, that the German "MAC e.V." in Duesseldorf distributes it
- on a public domain disk. Questions can be lead to the c't-magazine --
- readers of the magazine know this!
-
- Someone reported to me, that the compilation of the driver with
- a particular Think C version need a little change in the file
- <filemgr.h> -- it is not compatible with declarations found in
- the Inside Mac. Compiler reports errors because of missing one line
- in the declaration of PBBlock (or so) prms. Add this and it will
- compile. This struct "CntrlPrms" is declared in the <Devicemgr.h>.
-
- Sorry to those, who are not able to read the german article. I don't
- know of an english reprint.
