- SCRAMPREP
-
- SCRAMPREP is a user friendly utility for partitioning SCSI hard drives.
- It has an automatic mode which divides the disk into equal size
- partitions and sets up the RDBs. As well you can partition, prep,
- low-level format, and verify manually. I think you will find this
- utility useful and easy to use. One caution - SCRAMPREP does not
- AmigaFormat the partitions. After using SCRAMPREP you must reboot (to
- have the RDB read) and then Format each partition.
-
- Note that when writing RBD info to a boot partition SCRAMPREP will look
- for FastFileSystem in l: - so put later versions here if you like.
- FastFileSystem is built into WB 2.

- ScramAutoMount
-
- This program can be run from the Startup-Sequence and will mount a
- PREPed Hard Drive (with RDB) avoiding the need for a MountList entry.
- This is for people with KickStart 1.2 or who for some other reason want
- to use a .device driver from the devs: directory. If you have KickStart
- 1.2, why don't you upgrade so you have AutoBoot?
-
-
- DRIVERS
-
- There are 4 drivers supplied on this disk. The .bin files are binaries
- for ROMing. The .device files are for use with a mountlist - where they
- must be called SCRAM8.device.
-
- SCRAM_8.bin standard driver for ROMing
-
- SCRAM_8.device standard driver for devs:
-
- SCRAM_8_movep.bin faster driver for ROMing using optimized transfer
-
- SCRAM_8_movep.device faster driver for devs:
-
-
- The reason for including both versions is because that the faster
- version MAY exhibit data errors when used with a noisy cable on very
- fast SCSI drives. If you think you are having cable problems, try the
- slow version (turn AutoBoot switch off copy it to devs:). Typical
- diskspeeds for a Quantum are 460K B/s v. 540K B/s for the two drivers.
-
- SCRAM_8 currently supports removeable media, SCSI direct, and some SCSI
- CD ROM drives (tested with Toshiba). Coming soon is Floptical support
- and AMAX support.
