This program is FreeWare.
You may spread it as you like, but leave my name noticed.
With this program you can find out about partitions, filesystems,
bad-blocks, drive init codes and other HD related data.
Usage (CLI only) :
> RDB-Informer [[DEVICE] <device>] [[UNIT] <unit-nr>]
The default for DEVICE is 'scsi.device' and for UNIT '0'
Examples :
> RDB-Informer scsi.device unit 4
> RDB-Informer gvpscsi.device unit 6
> RDB-Informer unit 2 ; uses scsi.device unit 2
> RDB-Informer evolution.device ; uses evolution.device unit 0
How to find out the device name ?
If you have an A600,A1200,A3000 or A4000 then the name is 'scsi.device'.
Otherwise look at your controller's manuals :-(
or use ARTM|XOper|some-other-system-monitor to list system devices
and pick the right one.
Usually the HD driving device contains in his name strings like
'scsi','hd','disk','hdisk','harddisk' or
the name of manufacturer or controller like :
'gvpscsi.device'
'z3scsi.device'
'nexus.device'
'evolution.device'
'hddisk.device'
'alf.device'
The source is compiled with DICE using
the Commodore Includes and the Commodore amiga.lib
using the following script :
DCPP RDB-Informer.c -o T:RDB-Informer.i
DC1 T:RDB-Informer.i -o T:RDB-Informer.asm -R -proto
DAS T:RDB-Informer.asm -o RDB-Informer.o
DELETE T:RDB-Informer.asm quiet
DLINK RDB-Informer.o LIB:amiga.lib -o RDB-Informer
No c.lib and similar stuff is used !
