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...
