- There is now a set of utilities you can ftp from ftp.psg.com in the
- ~/pub/adaptec directory. Of most interest is scsicntl.exe which is a DOS
- based utility for configuring the drives, and also includes a format
- utility. Also of interest is setscsi.exe for setting the cards bus on/off
- times to help increase backups to floppy port based backup tape drives
- by allowing the DMA to keep the tape streaming.
