- Well, fine fact. The PRO level seems to be the one that doesn't require an ICD
- host adaptor connected.
-
- Besides, the combination AHDI 6.03 and HDX 5.01 works fine for any drive I
- tried so far, on all machines with SCSI port.
- This includes 128 MB Sony MO, 88 MB Syquest, various fixed HD drives.
- Streamers will require special drivers for their purpose.
-
- The only problem you might have on ACSI based systems is that Atari's software
- cannot recognize 'big' drives (above ~120 meg) without a matching line in
- the WINCAP parameters file. ICDs software will format and partition correctly,
- without manual work.
