- Hi,
-
- We have a large number of WORM disks with a lot of data on them
- which needs to be analysed. We also have a SCSI WORM drive. The
- filing system used on the WORM disks is totally non-standard.
-
- Is it possible to send low-level SCSI commands to a device on the
- SCSI bus? Or - is it possible to read blocks of data raw from a
- SCSI device? The hardware we have is a Hewlett-Packard series 700,
- running HP-UX.
-
- Please respond to me directly, as I am not subscribed.
-
- Thanks,
