*********************************************************************
* YOU ONLY NEED TO USE THIS PATCH IF YOU HAVE AN OPTICAL DISK DRIVE *
* AND WISH TO BOOT SHAPESHIFTER FROM A MAC-FORMATTED OPTICAL DISK. *
*********************************************************************
Ever since version 3.4, the ShapeShifter Macintosh emulator can only boot from
direct access (type 0) SCSI devices. That is, from e.g. hard disks.
Some optical disk drives are of type 7 (optical memory). So you cannot boot
ShapeShifter from a Mac-formatted optical disk if your optical drive is set to
"optical memory device" mode (type 7). This is annoying.
Similarly to the HDToolBox patch that is in the Amiga Magneto-Optical Drive
FAQ (on Aminet as docs/help/Amiga_MO_FAQ.lha), I have figured out a patch for
ShapeShifter 3.10 to not check the device type when booting.
