At LAST! The legal stuff is out of the way. :^)
Changes from SCSIMaster™ 1.1 to SCSIMaster™ 1.15:
1) The installation program will not run on Mac Plus machines. An
alert is presented and the user is forced to exit the program.
2) A warning alert is presented on 68040 Macs to allow the user to
exit without running the program.
3) The extra partition will only be used if it is 400kbytes or
larger. Any available partitions smaller than 400kbytes will
remain unused.
4) The new SCSIMaster™ 1.15 driver MAY be compatible with 68040 based
Macs however this has NOT BEEN TESTED. TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK!
5) The removal process has been improved so that when SCSIMaster™
is removed, any extra partitions that it made available are renamed
with a partition name of Macintosh and a partition type of
Apple_Free. This will prevent the newer Apple SCSI drivers from
attempting to mount them. For some reason some newer Macs have an
Apple SCSI driver on them that will attempt to mount more than one
Apple_HFS type partition even though they cannot correctly deal
with more than one. This caused problems after SCSIMaster 1.1
was removed from the drive. Those problems will not occur with
SCSIMaster 1.15.
If you ran into this last problem after installing and removing
SCSIMaster 1.1, then run SCSIMaster 1.15 and first click on the
install button, and then click on the remove button. Then restart
your Mac. This will prevent Apple's SCSI driver from trying to
mount the extra partition. The reason for clicking on the install
button first is simply to ensure that the remove button is enabled
in case SCSIMaster™ 1.1 was already removed from your drive.
SCSIMaster™ Documentation:
SCSIMaster™ Version 1.1 Features:
-Easy installation and removal.
-Allows access to all of your Apple hard drive.
-Supports drives with 512 byte sectors up to 1024 Mbytes in size.
-Works on a Mac Plus or any newer Macintosh models.
-Compatible with any Macintosh system software including System 7.
-Compatible with virtual memory.
-Supports new style partition maps.
-Supports multiple partitions on a single SCSI drive.
-Does not remove any Apple installed drivers.
-Safe and easy updating to future versions.
SCSIMaster™ is software for Macintosh computers that allows users
to mount multiple partitions on any SCSI hard drive. There are
two parts to the software. The first is the installation
program that installs the SCSIMaster™ driver on the SCSI drive.
The second part of the software is the SCSIMaster™ driver itself.
This is software that gets loaded and used every time the Mac is
turned on. It is this piece of software that allows the Mac to
appear as though it has more than one hard disk, when in reality
there is only one physical drive.
Every Macintosh computer shipped by Apple has at least two
partitions on its hard drive that can be used for data storage.
One of these partitions is the partition that everyone uses, it is
usually 40, 80, or 100 Megabytes in size. However, there is
another partition that is normally never used by your Mac. It is
typically 1-5 Megabytes in size. This area on your hard
disk could be used to store data if a driver could access it.
SCSIMaster™ is a software driver that allows you to use this
normally inaccesable part of your disk drive.
The driver shipped by Apple with your Mac does not access this
area. It will only support one partition on each SCSI hard disk.
This allows Apple to make all of the disk drives they ship in
their Macs appear to be the same size. In reality, the actual
size of the hard drive in your Mac depends on the manufacturer of
the disk drive. Apple creates a standard sized partition on all
of their disk drives, and saves the remaining space on the drive
in a separate partition. The size of the remaining partition
depends on the capacity of the disk drive. After you install
SCSIMaster™, depending on the capacity of the drive inside your
Mac, you may get access to more storage space than someone else
who has the same Mac, but a different disk drive inside their Mac.
Then again, you may have one of the smaller disk drives in your
computer. You paid for the partition size Apple sold you.
Don't complain.
When you install SCSIMaster™ on your Mac, you will get access to
this unused partition. You may use this space as another disk
drive, just like you use your current hard disk. In order to see
this drive, you must first install SCSIMaster™. Then you will
have to restart your Mac. After you restart your Mac, and you
have seen the smiley Mac and the Welcome to Macintosh sign, you
will get a dialog box that says "This is not a Macintosh disk
would you like to initialize it." DON'T PANIC. This is talking
about the new partition, NOT your normal partition. If there were
a problem on your usuall partition, you would not have gotten this
far in the booting process. Say YES to the question. After you
name the drive, the Mac will initialize the partition and it will
appear along with your usuall partition. You now have two hard
disk drive icons that you can use. Each icon corresponds to one
parition on your hard drive.
If you choose to not initialize the new partition, then you will
not see the new partition, but you will be able to use the standard
partition normally. Also, every time you boot your Mac, you will
be pestered with the same question - "This is not a Macintosh disk.
Would you like to initialize it?" This question will not go away
until you say yes, or until you remove SCSIMaster™ from your disk
drive. Just say YES! Its OK.
If you choose to remove SCSIMaster™ from your hard disk, you will
not be able to access the second partition anymore. This means
that any data stored in that partition will look like it has
dissapeared. However, unless you format your hard disk, or
change the partitions on your drive with partitioning software, the
data in that partition is not gone. It is still there. If you
reinstall SCSIMaster™, it will appear again. You also will not
be asked to initialize the partition since it has already been
initialized.
After installing SCSIMaster™ you may notice that your hard drive
icon has changed. This is normal. The SCSIMaster™ driver uses
a different disk drive icon than the standard Apple SCSI driver.
When you install SCSIMaster™ on your drive, the driver that came
on your drive from Apple is left there. It is not removed. In
fact, nothing is erased from your hard drive. SCSIMaster™ and
information pointing to it is simply added to your hard disk. When
you remove SCSIMaster™, only SCSIMaster™ information is erased
from your hard drive.
SCSIMaster™ 1.15 can only be installed on disk drives that have
been partitioned with the partition map scheme described in
Inside Macintosh Volume 5.
You will not be able to install SCSIMaster™ 1.15 on a non mac
drive or a drive that has an old style partition map on it. This
means that SCSIMaster™ 1.15 will not install on a drive that
has been formated with the shareware program SF&I or any
other program that installs old style partition maps. Future
versions of SCSIMaster™ will be able to install SCSIMaster™ on
old style partition map drives and even on non Mac formated
SCSI disk drives.
Thank you for using SCSIMaster™. If you have any feature
requests, bug reports, or comments on this software or its
documentation please send them via e-mail to the internet address
