- This library contains new versions of HGEN and SCSIBOOT. HGEN has been extended
- to install SCSI controller initialization in the hard drive boot sector. This
- allows automatic booting from non generic SCSI controllers, such as the Xebec
- 1410(A) and the DTC 510(A/B), as well as generic SCSI controllers.
-
- HGEN V1.3 will not function with the V1.2 SCSI boot EPROM. A bug in the SCSI
- routines in the boot EPROM that prevented the SETPRAM routine from functioning
- has been corrected in the V1.3 EPROM.
-
- Much of the new material in HGEN was lifted from HINIT. The corrections to the
- SCSI routines in the boot EPROM were taken from the V3.8 BIOS source. All
- source listings are copyrighted material of Ampro, Inc., and could not be
- included in the library for general distribution. They are available on Ampro's
- BBS at (408)734-2980 in the LBZ80-SOURCE section for licencees of Ampro's
- source code.
-
- These programs have been tested in a Little Board/Plus, using a DTC-510B
- controller, connected to an IMI 5018 drive. SCSI Generic controllers should
- experience no problems with these new files, as they do not require specific
- initialization. The Xebec 1410(A) should work (based on the comments by
- John Lin in 1410BOOT.TXT), but has not been tested.
