- You misunderstood my question. I was asking about a specific software
- package for the Mac called "Drive7" from Casa Blanca Works. The Mac
- boots device drivers directly from a reserved area on the disk drive,
- and this software package installs drivers on SCSI disks. For some
- reason, it hangs my machine when it is doing its SCSI bus scan looking
- for likely devices. Casa Blanca Works is unable to help me, since it's
- not Mac hardware, and ReadySoft doesn't know either.
-
- On the chance that there is something wrong in my setup, and not something
- fundamental, I was wondering if anyone else has tried it.
-
- I was not talking about SCSI bus device address 7, nor even "Drive 7
- for the controler". By the way, I do indeed have all seven available
- SCSI addresses occupied.
-
- So, to restate my question, does anyone know anything about the Mac software
- product called "Drive7" and whether it does, could possibly, or could never
- at all work with Amax?
-
- If you don't know, feel free to refrain from volunteering an incorrect
- answer!
