Re: Executor/NS and Mac SCSI drives



Cliff says,

> The procedure that I describe below will allow Executor to directly access  
SCSI hard drives, but currently you can only have Executor access them "read  
only".  That limitation is a bug, and sometime soon a new version of Executor  
(1.3a) will be on the archives with that bug fixed.

make sure you start Executor *before* you insert the media.  Executor pushs  
NEXTSTEP's Mac filesystem support out of the way when it starts up, and  
restores it when it quits.  While Executor is running, it detects when Mac  
media has been inserted.

Apparently, the "read only" bug extends to removeable SCSI media (like Syquest  
drives) as well. Correct, Cliff? That's the way mine works...
