- This program is FreeWare.
- You may spread it as you like, but leave my name noticed.
-
-
- With this program you can find out about partitions, filesystems,
- bad-blocks, drive init codes and other HD related data.
-
- Usage (CLI only) :
- > RDB-Informer [[DEVICE] <device>] [[UNIT] <unit-nr>]
-
- The default for DEVICE is 'scsi.device' and for UNIT '0'
-
- Examples :
- > RDB-Informer scsi.device unit 4
- > RDB-Informer gvpscsi.device unit 6
- > RDB-Informer unit 2 ; uses scsi.device unit 2
- > RDB-Informer evolution.device ; uses evolution.device unit 0
-
- How to find out the device name ?
-
- If you have an A600,A1200,A3000 or A4000 then the name is 'scsi.device'.
-
- Otherwise look at your controller's manuals :-(
- or use ARTM|XOper|some-other-system-monitor to list system devices
- and pick the right one.
- Usually the HD driving device contains in his name strings like
- 'scsi','hd','disk','hdisk','harddisk' or
- the name of manufacturer or controller like :
-
- 'gvpscsi.device'
- 'z3scsi.device'
- 'nexus.device'
- 'evolution.device'
- 'hddisk.device'
- 'alf.device'
-
-
- The source is compiled with DICE using
- the Commodore Includes and the Commodore amiga.lib
- using the following script :
-
- DCPP RDB-Informer.c -o T:RDB-Informer.i
- DC1 T:RDB-Informer.i -o T:RDB-Informer.asm -R -proto
- DAS T:RDB-Informer.asm -o RDB-Informer.o
- DELETE T:RDB-Informer.asm quiet
- DLINK RDB-Informer.o LIB:amiga.lib -o RDB-Informer
-
- No c.lib and similar stuff is used !
