-
- New release of the ancient HDInstTools program.
- A lot of bugfixes done.
-
- History:
-
- 6.9
-
- - Erase RDB should now work as advertised.
-
- - Automatic adjustment of LAST_... flags is now compatible with HDToolBox.
-
- - Added Property sheet for FileSystems. DosType, Version, Task-Priority
- and Task-StackSize can now be edited.
-
- - Default DosType for newly installed FileSystems and Partitions is now
- DOS\3 (FFS Intl) instead of DOS\1 (FFS).
-
- - Default StackSize for new installed FileSystems is now 2048 Bytes instead
- of 600.
-
-
- 6.8
-
- - Changed scanning for multiple controllers. If the device name is
- "scsi.device", new device names are generated for each board.
- ("2nd.scsi.device, "3rd.scsi.device", etc.)
- If the device name is different, the 100 digits of the unit number
- will be used to search for multiple controllers.
-
-
- 6.7
-
- - HDInstTool can now be started multiple times, if the device name is
- different.
-
- - Renamed custom filesystems from "Special" to "Custom" in the Edit
- Partition Window.
-
- - Fixed problem with GVP controllers: Removable media couldn't be removed
- after HDInstTools was run.
-
-
- 6.6
-
- - DOS formatting custom dos type (like SFS, AFS or PFS) partitions now
- works correctly.
-
- - Increased number of possible partitions per drive.
-
-
- 6.5
-
- - Bugfix: In "Edit Partition", custom dos types (e.g. PFS\2) were replaced
- by the default RESV whenever HDInstTools was started again. This made the
- use of custom filesystems like SFS, AFS or PFS nearly impossible.
-
-
- 6.4
-
- - Added TD64 and NSD support to the DOS Format functions!
- It is now safe to format partitions beyond the 4GB barrier!
-
- - Added RDBLOW tooltype for creating the RDB on different sectors
- - Added RDBSPACE tooltype for reserving space for RDB
- - Updated tooltypes in documentation
-
-
- 6.3
-
- - Fixed wrong calculation of drive size, if drive is >4GB
-
-
- 6.2
-
- - Enhanced method for calculating drive geometry
-
- - Leaves more room for FileSystems & DriveInit data in the RDB area.
- This is important, if OktaPussy users wish to add the device driver
- into the RDB.
-
-
- 6.1
-
- - First release of the reworked version
-
-
- Enhancements:
-
- - Supports different sector sizes
- - Supports big harddisks (> 2GB)
