- Mt. Everything is a Control Panel to help you to manage your SCSI-bus and
- devices connected to it.
- This package contains the final bug fix release of Mt. Everything 1.1.1
- Main features include:
- - View the types and manufacturers of devices connected to your Mac's
- SCSI-bus.
- - Mount any single partition or an entire disk at any time with a mouse
- click.
- - Start or stop each individual drive without rebooting the Mac.
- - Use the disk-driver software installed on the disk or Mt.
- Everything's built-in driver for any disk.
- - View a map of the individual partitions (including system-partitions)
- found on a disk.
- - Special support for removable-medium devices
- - Runs on A/UX 3.x
-
-
- Fixed in 1.1.1 (compared to v 1.1)
- - Mounts FWB's HDT 2.0.x initialized disks.
- - Once again correctly handles disk-drives with a blocksize > 512 bytes
- (This bug has been introduced in one of the 1.1 betas where I extended
- CD-ROM support)
- - "Info"-Dialog now handles disks with many partitions (more than about 12)
- much better without overflowing the available display space.
- - The built-in driver now handles removable media more meaningful:
- e.g. It now won't let you manually eject a disk with currently mounted
- volumes and then run into trouble when disk ejected isn't there any more.
- - The built-in driver now correctly stops (and ejects) removable media
- disks when you drag all mounted volumes to the trash rather than
- trying to remount the volumes after a short while.
- - Volumes (and partition) sizes for disks with blocksizes > 512 bytes
- are (one again) displayed correctly now.
-
- Minor feature enhancements (since this is not a feature but a bug-fix
- release):
- - Recognizes and displays meaningfull information on MkLinux ext2
- file systems in the "Info" dialog
- - Recognizes BeOS file systems in the "Info" dialog
-
- Requested features still not available in this release (just to avoid you
- being disappointed):
- - Full support for multiple SCSI buses: Mt. Everything 1.1.1 still is stuck
- to a single SCSI bus (or the virtual bus on machines supporting multiple SCSI-buses).
- I'm currently working on an interim solution on this based on the existing
- Mt. Everything code which will appear as Mt. Everything 1.5 in foreseeable
- future. I have postponed my original plans for a total rewrite (planned as
- Mt. Everything 2) due to Apple's OS strategy changes (no more Copland
- but NeXT/Rhapsody instead). Since Mt. Everthing operates very close to the
- core OS I decided to suspend the total rewrite until OS issues have settled.
