- No, it's SCSI_DEVICE_NAME. there is also XT_DEVICE_NAME, since the
- 2091 etc. supports XT disks also. HDToolbox defaults to "scsi.device"
- and "xt.device", since that's what the 2091 uses.
- And, these ToolType options are NOT in the manual that I saw. I had to
- hexdump the file to find it (my usual way of hacking things...)
- Note that the device driver names are for the system, not the file, so
- cases ARE important (since Exec lists aren't case insensitive like
- DOS.)
-
- Use SiND or SYsinfo3.01 to find out what your device driver name
- is...it's probably on the autoboot ROM, so may not be on any disk
- anywhere.
