- COMPATIBILITY NOTES FOR RDPREP
-
- IF YOU HAVE A CDROM DRIVE
-
- Eject any CD you may have loaded before running RDPrep.
- CDROMS cannot be partitioned nor have a Rigid Disk Block written to them.
-
-
- USING RDPREP WITH NON-MICROBOTICS SCSI OR IDE INTERFACES
-
- If the manufacturer of your interface properly and fully supports the Rigid
- Disk Block standard and complies with Commodore's software standards,
- you should be able to use RDPrep to partition your hard disk via that
- interface _IF_ you do the following:
-
- 1. If running from Workbench, you must open the icon and put the proper
- device driver name in the icon as a tooltype. For example, Commodore's
- device driver is called "scsi.device" (for both its SCSI and IDE disk
- interfaces). Thus the tooltype entry would look as follows:
-
- DEVICE=scsi.device
-
- RDPrep can, for example, be used to partition IDE drives on the Amiga
- 1200 without any MicroBotics hardware present.
-
- 2. If running RDPrep from the CLI, then you must issue the "-d"
- keyword on the command line. For example, the command line for Commodore's
- A1200 would look as follows:
-
- RDPrep -d scsi.device
-
- Note that spelling and capitalization are important to the name of the
- device driver.
